Make something new happen! Become a Cranky Publication Sponsor.

Cranky is seeking lit-lovers of all sorts to help us continue our work on behalf of beautiful poetry and quirky, deftly-crafted stories, as well as book reviews, the annual small press fair, and special readings from local and national writers alike. As a sponsor of Cranky Literary Magazine, you are helping us grow stably into a bright future. Three reasons to become a Cranky Sponsor:

1. It's tax-deductible and poetry-friendly.

2. Great literature doesn’t grow on trees (not even in Brooklyn). In the last few years, Cranky has presented or will be presenting several special events, including our Seattle Poetry Festival panel, the small press fair, "(pro)text", a reading in Berkeley, CA, various workshops, and readings featuring invited guests Ilya Kaminsky, Joshua Beckman, Olena Kayltiak Davis, Norman Lock, Sabrina Orah Mark, Christian Hawkey, and on May 23-26, Valzhyna Mort, who will read and lead a workshop.

3. Sponsoring Cranky gains you entrée into private functions, free admission to readings, advanced word on workshops, and other events.

On May 23rd, Cranky is hosting its first-ever cocktail party for sponsors, featuring a private reading and brief talk by the fiercely talented, young Belarusian poet, Valzyhna Mort. The poet Ilya Kaminsky says of her:

“Valzhyna Mort is a brilliant young poet and one who is uniquely, genuinely gifted. I applaud her.”

And, from Franz Wright: “Valzhyna Mort is electrifying.”
