Permafrost (newspaper)

Permafrost (newspaper)

Permafrost is the farthest north literary journal for writing and the arts. Based out of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Permafrost publishes poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and photography from around the country, Canada, and Europe. While not officially dedicated to writing from Alaska, since 2005 the content has represented an increasingly northern flavor, publishing interviews with such notable Alaskan writers as Gerri Brightwell, Derick Burleson, and Richard Nelson. Recent cover art has been predominantly influenced by Alaskan culture, highlighting the likes of painter David Mollett and photographer Larry McNeil.

Having celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2008, Permafrost continues to publish notable writers/artists such as Allen Ginsberg, Ilya Kaminsky, and Andy Warhol alongside up and coming writers such as Dan Pinkerton, Billy Thorpe, and David Tippetts.

Midnight Sun Writing Contests

Each spring the journal sponsors the annual Midnight Sun Poetry Chapbook Contest. Winner of the 2008 competition went to poet Rebecca B. Rank for "Pears in a Porcelain Bowl". Past winners include Briton Shurley (2007), Holly Iglesias (1999), and Laurie O'Brien (1994).
