RAUAN KLASSNIK was born in Johannesburg, South Africa (the deep South) and now spends most of his time in Mexico. His first book, Holy Land, was released April 2008 from Black Ocean. His Chapbook, Ringing, came out March 2009 from Kitchen Press. Another chapbook, Dreaming, is due out this summer from Scantily Clad Press. Rauan is a shy, quiet soul. Rauan likes the afternoons.

“Sucking”: an essay from ACTION YES Online Quarterly:

"Because of remembering where or what you ovum gasp and burst. First he spit on my asshole and then start in middle finger and then the cock slid in no sound come out, only gaping, grind hard into ground. Voluminous bounty of minutes sensate and glowing shoot out." ----Ariana Reines, from "Blowhole"
