Hambone (magazine)

"Hambone" is a small literary magazine that has published major poets. it is edited by poet Nathaniel Mackey.

Writing in "The Nation" magazine, John Palattella described "Hambone" as "an indispensable little magazine that for more than a quarter-century has featured work by everyone from Sun Ra to Susan Howe." [ [http://www.thenation.com/doc/20060918/palattella] Palattella, John, "Poetry, From Noun to Verb", a review in "The Nation", September 18, 2006, accessed january 29, 2007]

The magazine's first issue was published in the spring of 1974 under another name as a group effort by the Committee on Black Performing Arts at Stanford University. It was dormant for several years before Mackey renamed it "Hambone" and revived it as a significantly different journal. The second issue appeared in the fall of 1982, with Mackey as sole editor and publisher. Since then it has appeared irregularly, a bit less than one issue per year.

Although the Fall 1982 issue of the magazine was the first with the "Hambone" name, Mackey called it "Hambone 2". It included work by Sun Ra, fiction by Clarence Major, Wilson Harris and poems by Robert Duncan, Beverly Dahlen, Jay Wright, and Edward Kamau Brathwaite. [http://wings.buffalo.edu/epc/authors/funkhouser/mackey.html] Web page titled "Interview with Nathaniel Mackey" containing a transcript of an interview Christopher Funkhouser conducted with Mackey for "Callaloo", Volume 18, No. 4, March 1995, the interview took place "at Nathaniel Mackey's home in Santa Cruz on September 3, 1991", according to the Web page]

In a 1991 interview, Mackey said, "Whether it will go on my whole life? I'm pretty sure that it won't. I don't know how much longer it will go on." The magazine was still in existence, however, in late 2000.

The magazine does not appear to have its own Web site.
