A literary magazine with no literary merit.

Pocket Book Lit is an ode to the things we lose in our pockets: pennies, seashells, wedding rings, hospital bracelets, cookie crumbs, false promises, old receipts. All the things we forget about and then leave to the mercy of the wash.

In a way, life is like one big washing machine, and we are all lint stuck in god’s jean pocket (in our world, god wears low rise jeans—this is our belief system, get your own!) and some other people are probably stuck in our pockets and so on and so forth and we live in a pocket multiverse paradox.

But despite multiple rinse cycles, these items have a way of showing up again when we least expect it, and we sigh with relief: “Oh, that’s where that went.” Rinsed and repeated, memories still survive.

Each issue of Pocket Book Lit captures those bursts of emotion in a collection of extra short stories that you can read quickly now or pocket for a later date.

As a wise woman once said, “I’ve got one hand in my pocket, and the other one is holding the latest issue of Pocket Book Lit.”
