Welcome


Inaugural Issue

To Our Readers

This inaugural issue of Packingtown Review reveals our affinity for experimentation. You can find it in many of the individual works in the journal, but moreover in our deliberate choice to pack the issue with the best of many genres and forms practiced today, rather than to specialize in a specific kind of writing. The work inside challenges us—and we hope it will challenge you—to question the limits of verbal art in the printed format, where a compelling line break brushes against vivid dialogue and motions to a provocative argument.

A literary journal of the arts out of the University of Illinois at Chicago.
