Pangyrus See other projects related to this listing. About Pangyrus is a literary magazine that is dedicated to art, ideas, and making culture thrive. Our name is a portmanteau of pangea (the world continent) and gyrus (the folds on the cerebral cortex of the brain). Pangyrus is about connection. We bring readers to make unexpected connections across a wide range of ideas, genres, and geographies. All that is worthy of thought and consideration, you’ll find here.The name’s echo of “papyrus” is deliberate: we engage with political and social issues, but edit for writing that will stand the test of time. Our hybrid publishing model allows us the flexibility to publish topical opinion pieces and reviews alongside poetry, comics, memoir and fiction.
