How do you
know
when the poem
is
finished, she
asked me,
this woman
dressed
in scarves and
bangles,
her mouth
a bright
red wound. How,
I asked
her back, do
you know
when
the rainstorm
is over?
She kissed me
then
and I held her
close
the way a
monk might,
any night,
in his moon-
stricken need.
Welcome Eager Readers! (And Writers)
Here you will find prose and poems (plus occasional announcements by staff) published in The Toucan literary magazine, a small but mighty zine-y lit mag from Chicago and two probably clinically insane Columbia College students. We publish well-written, sometimes serious, sometimes zany pieces that we, the editrices (yes, we are editrices, we like the sound of that) would want to read. No, seriously, we mean the last part. Emerging writers are more than welcome (we're still emerging ourselves), and so is Joyce Carol Oates. We only encourage you to submit something you enjoyed writing, that you think deserves to make friends with other fantastic word creations...and ask that you read at least part of our magazine before you submit.
On that note, all issues can be found under the heading "Previous Issues" in the right-hand corner of your screen. The first or second post should be a Table of Contents which are links to that particular piece. Once you've finished it, you can click the back arrow of your browser to reach the TOC or on "Older Posts" to keep plowing forward. And PLEASE feel free to comment about what you particularly appreciated. If you're a big fan, become a follower of the blog. Find us on Facebook too.
Enjoy, and Viva La Toucan!
