Hawk & Whippoorwill Homepage

Between 1960 and 1963, renowned Wisconsin writer poet, lecturer, editor (etc.) August Derleth (1909-1971) edited and published a magazine with the title Hawk & Whippoorwill devoted to poems of man and nature. Though simply designed, the saddle-stitch journal was widely esteemed for its uncommon integrity. Original contributors, other than Derleth himself, included James T. Farrell, John Beecher, Felix Stefanile, Carleton Drewry, and Helga Sandburg. The Pen & Anvil Press is pleased to announce that in summer 2008, Augie's "little magazine" was revived by editors Matthew Kelsey and Jon Wooding, with the endorsement and support of April Derleth.
