Volume 3

COVER ART: "Floating" by Molly-Rose Arnstein; 40” x 30”; Chromogenic Print, 2010


Online Content

The third issue of our print journal was scheduled to appear in March 2012. Although the issue was completely edited, laid out and proofread by late 2011, virtually all of the sources of financial support for Packingtown Review ran dry by the time the issue was turned over to the University of Illinois Press. For years, the press was holding the issue's content and the list of subscribers as collateral, but we're fianlly able to share a raw PDF with all the content that was supposed to appear in the issue. You can now download the PDF on our blog: the writing is as fresh as the day it was copyedited!
