Buckman Journal: Cluster

Releasing January 20th, 2026

Welcome to the cluster, y’all—where there are veins of syntax, nostalgia mists, and fifty different hands in front of you. Featuring nearly 40 local artists and writers, Buckman Journal: Cluster wrangles an array of talent into a multimedia cornucopia. On the cover: photography by Hannah Krafcik featuring dancers in bodily constellations. Inside the issue: take an illuminating trip to the zoo, look through the prism of a hardcore puzzler, attend an angel lynching, and witness a new way to make a modern popstar. Spill red wine at the solstice party, get hit on by a friend’s father, and inadvertently teach your kid to crack a joke. Meet newly minted comrades in intoxication, consider the earthly digestion, the haunted lineage, and a little envelope of thrumming.

Ordering directly from Buckman guarantees a deluxe edition of the journal, which includes special extra ephemera with the first 250 orders—like a mailable art postcard.
