The Furnace (magazine)

The Furnace is a quarterly literary magazine edited by Kelli Kavanaugh and a board of editors.

History and profile

The Furnace was launched September 28, 2002.[1] Editorial offices are located at the Bohemian National Home, Tillman Avenue, in Detroit's Corktown district. It is published on a quarterly basis.[2] The magazine covers Detroit culture, including visual arts, architecture, urban development, literature, history and music.

The Furnace has published a number of notable Detroit authors and manifestos from collectives:

  • Zuriel Wolfgang Lott
  • Mariela Griffor
  • Architects Asylum
  • Lisa Runchey
  • Vievee Francis
  • Joanna Karner
  • Eric Darby
  • Robert Fanning
  • Terry Blackhawk
  • Gary C. Wagaman

As a practice, the editorial team marks release of a new edition by organizing an event, often at a lost Detroit venue. For example, the editors held the first issue celebration at the Savoyard Club, in the Buhl Building at Griswold, Detroit, Michigan. Several of The Furnace's writers and a poetry editor have been a crucial part of Write Word Write Now, (a cohort of Detroit's up and coming page poets).
