Profile

Published quarterly since 1996 in Vienna, Graz, and Sydney, Gangway appeared as one of the first literary journals on the internet, [2] and has currently over 40 issues online, in both the German and the English language. [3] The magazine has a focus on expatriates showcasing their contemporary writing, poems, short stories, and experimental prose. It also contains book reviews, interviews, and special features. [4] Gangway is digitally archived by DILIMAG (Digitale Literaturmagazine) at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, and by the Australian National Library, Canberra ACT. [5]

After launching Gangway #32 – Gangan Verlag's 20th anniversary issue, at the Literaturhaus Graz in June 2004, [6] Gerald Ganglbauer introduced conceptual changes: Since Gangway appeared as one of the first literary journals on the internet in 1996, many more have come (and some have already gone), therefore I believe that it is imperative to create a defined niche. Hence the general focus of Gangway will be shifted from bilingual Australian and/or Austrian authors to the global community of expat writers living abroad – provided they write in – or are translated into – the English or German language. [7] Since then themed issues were infrequently compiled by guest editors. Reviews, interviews, and special features also continued to appear from time to time. In 2009, Ganglbauer installed Twitter updates, and the original Yahoo! Groups writers' community was replaced by a Facebook fan page.

Authors

Amongst hundreds of published authors are the Australians Michael Crane, the late Jas H. Duke, Geoffrey Gates, Antigone Kefala, Rudi Krausmann, Ania Walwicz, and from Austria Manfred Chobot, Margret Kreidl, and Erika Kronabitter, to name but a few. Gangway also first published works in translation, e.g. from Australian poet Amanda Stewart, and Austrian poet Ingeborg Bachmann. Some of the contemporary writers recently featured in Gangway No. 40 – Expatriations: The expatriate edition, were: Vahni Capildeo, Ken Edwards, Laurie Duggan, Louis Armand, and David Miller. A complete list of all Gangway authors is maintained online. [8]
