Puncture

Puncture was an independent music magazine founded by Katherine Spielmann and Patty Stirling in 1981. It published 47 issues over the following 20 years, first in San Francisco, then from 1992 in Portland, Oregon. Tract Home Publications has issued a complete reprint of the first six issues, and an anthology of work from the magazine was published by Verse Chorus Press in 2020 under the title Now Is the Time to Invent. In addition, the Puncture website features selected stories that appeared in Puncture over the years.
