help Lungfull! FAQ
What makes Lungfull! different from a normal poetry magazine?
It prints contributors' rough drafts beside the finished poems, letting readers see revision rather than only the polished result. The 1999 issue 7 is one example of the annual print format, which the publication described as a compendium of horrible mistakes.
Who edited Lungfull! in the New York small-press scene?
Brendan Lorber is documented as the founding editor, publisher, and later editor associated with Lungfull! Magazine. A 1999 Brooklyn issue, number 7, lists Lorber among the publication's bibliographic details.

What appears alongside the poetry in Lungfull!?
Issues combine poetry with prose, visual art, letters, and author marginalia, rather than treating the poems as isolated text. A review of issue 21 describes more than 50 contributors and a theme titled The Ecstasy of Deceit.
Is Lungfull! a New York publication or an online journal?
It is an independent U.S. print literary magazine tied to New York's small-press poetry scene. Issue 21 was listed at $11.95 in a contemporary review, and Duotrope later marked the project as believed defunct in June 2015. ([Duotrope](https://duotrope.com/magazine/lungfull-1259))
