IN PREVIOUS ISSUES

Blackbird publishes new issues twice a year. The notion of “issue” is both a nod to the print journal and a way for us to call attention to the new work of a limited number of writers. However, publishing online allows us keep all issues available for reading, listening, and viewing. On this page, we wish to point you toward some of the content you may have missed but which still lives in our Archives.

Blackbird published three of Dexter L. Booth’s poems in v12n1: “Love in the Time of Revolution,” “May 13th, 2012,” and “White Dwarves.” He was also one of nine contributors featured in that issue’s Introductions Reading Loop, and his essay on writing process “Self-Portrait as a List from ‘My Favorite Mistakes’ ” is included in the loop’s related feature, Tracking the Muse.
