<dt>“The train thundered deafeningly, and a storm of dust blew in his face; but
though it stopped now and then through the night, he clung where he was —
he would cling there until he was driven off, for every mile that he got from
Packingtown meant another load from his mind.”</dt>

<i>Packingtown Review</i> was founded in 2007 at the University of Illinois
at Chicago by a group of Ph.D. students in the English department. The journal
features poetry, prose, drama, literary scholarship, and cultural commentary
and reflects the UIC English departments interdisciplinary approach.
<i>Packingtown Review</i> publishes established and emerging US-American and
international writers as well as English translations of contemporary and
classic works, especially from lesser-known languages. The first issue is
slated for publication in March 2009, and the second in November 2009.
After the second release, the journal will be issued biannually.
