Named after the nefarious inner SE neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, Buckmxn Journal is an art and literature anthology published twice a year, featuring the Pacific Northwest’s finest talent. Sending scouts deep into the local literature and arts scene, Buckman finds the best to present. Delivered with grit and cunning design, the printed medium is very much alive in Buckman.

Buckman Journal: gorge Deluxe Edition
Buckman Journal: Gorge runneth over with the right stuff! Get gross and gorgeous at once in a cover spread by Paisley Lee. Visit the real-deal dive in our namesake neighborhood that serves a pricey, path-altering drink in fiction from Hannah Love. Spend time at The Institute of Living in a memoir excerpt from Sara Atwood. Consider blowing your fortune on a vintage coastal property in a novel excerpt from S.Z. James. Get lost in Stephanie Hatch’s technicolor collages and swirl in the lava-lamp-mindscape of Emily Moon. Find a new slogan in the strange phrasings of poet Maxwell Kline. Stop to linger on the city bridges and envision our remade Burnside in Creative Non-fiction from Anita Macauley. Eat barbecue in the Alvord Desert vortex. See your reflection in the glowing fish tank. Get down with the creases. And more more more…
This is Portland Deluxe Edition
Finally! A real dose of Portland, and who better to deliver it than some of the city’s most respected artists, writers, shakers and doers. A travel book can tell you where to eat and sleep, but This is Portland convey’s the city’s soul and spirit more faithfully than any other. Short stories. Essays. Comics. Poetry. Recipes. Photos. Painting. Tarot. Illustrations. Mixed Art. Presented in a GIANT paperback book (8.5 x 11 inches).
Contributors include Michelle Ruiz Keil (Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction Finalist), Pace Taylor (New Yorker), Chris Stuck (Pushcart Prize winner, Amistad/HarperCollins), Scott Korb (New Yorker), Lauren Yoshiko (Broccoli), Erin Nations (Eisner and Ignatz nominated), and many, many more.
