[PANK] hosts a national reading series it calls Invasions, that it might show something of its varied faces to the world, vent some of its pent up cacophonies, gnash its teeth in good company. Sometimes we collaborate with other magazines. Sometimes we fly solo. They’re great fun and happen too infrequently. Contact the editors if you’d like more information.
