A literary journal of
the Henry Miller Library


A Journal of Literary Decadence
New Issue:
Fall 2006
 
Ping-Pong is…your thing 

so damn sexy
 
addictive because it engages the mind and body 

and must be,first and foremost a journal for the best writing out there 

a site for poetry, fiction,
art, and conversation 

sexily designed, sleek dark wood and glass 

interested in work that is unafraid to believe that art only and always fails when the reader walks away.

Ping•Pong: a spin on literature and art, serving the essence of Henry Miller.

Watch for the inaugural issue coming out in the fall of 2006 with works by Stephen Elliot, Sparrow,
Jennifer L. Knox, Graham Foust, and many others.

We like to be surprised by language and welcome writing that is playful and experimental.
We like ideas that are bold and uncensored.
Invite us into your world. Shock us, madden us, make us cry and laugh.
We are particularly interested in work with a global/ecological perspective,
although we welcome regionalism with a global awareness.
Themes we like include, but are not limited to, pop-culture, erotica, and ecology.
We like experimental poetry and prose that demonstrates an awareness of the language it uses.
We publish brilliantly crafted writing, but are not interested in work
that is clever at the expense of substance.
Please don’t send us your grandmother’s slipper poems –
you know the ones we mean.
Send those to your grandmother. She’ll love you for it, and perhaps bake you some of those cookies you like so much.
We would like to bake you cookies too, but don’t have time.
