The Crank is a literary mag with a contrarian bent, published online on a triannual basis. Its aim is to showcase original writing (mostly poetry) with minimal recourse to trends.

The Crank is a Rain over Bouville Publication edited and produced by Humphrey Astley in Oxfordshire, England. Any questions: contact@thecrankmag.com.
