Gandy Dancer

Gandy Dancer Literary magazine publishing fiction, poetry, CNF, and visual art. We welcome the work of student writers and artists from SUNY campuses.

We’ve titled our journal Gandy Dancer after the slang term for the railroad workers who laid and maintained the railroad tracks before the advent of machines to do this work. Most theories suggest that this term arose from the dance-like movements of the workers, as they pounded and lifted to keep tracks aligned. This was grueling work, which required the gandy dancers to endure heat and cold, rai

n and snow. Like the gandy dancers, writers and artists arrange and rearrange, adjust and polish to create something that allows others passage. Twitter: https://twitter.com/GandyDancerMag
