With this 8th collection, Pangyrus Literary magazine responds with art, heart, verve and vulnerability to the COVID-19 pandemic. Woven throughout this volume are poems, essays, stories and comics from our new In Sickness and In Health section. These include Xiaoly Li’s Your Fire and Thunder, a tragic, posthumous tribute to a voice of warning, L.M. Brown’s What We Worried About, and much more.

Writers also found ways to capture the cultural reckoning around race, with Celeste Cosme’s For Greenwood and Ryane Nicole Granados’s
Love Letter to My Soon To Be Thirteen-Year-Old Son representing some of the most powerful writing we’ve published.

These pieces and more are woven throughout Pangyrus Eight’s mix of stories, poems, and comics, all of it designed to spirit you

away and bring you back more here than you’ve ever been before. Other highlights include Martin Espada’s The Spotlight at the Corner… , Pamela

Painter’s The Red Bicycle and Simple Math, Charles Bernstein’s ringing verse (‘we were the fire before the fire was ours’),
