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.

Sandra Beasley’s poetry in Blackbird dates back to v5n1, with “She Falls Asleep in Strange Places” and “The Minotaur Speaks” (v7n1). A series of her insightful book reviews appear in v7n1, v8n1, v9n2, v10n2, v11n1, and v11n2. Beasley is the author of two prize–winning poetry collections, I Was the Jukebox and Theories of Falling.

Brian Teare   Brian Teare
Poetry from Brian Teare first appeared in v4n1, with “As if from Letters of Surveyor Samuel Maclay (Spring, 1790)” and “Lent Prayer.”  Three of his poetry collections have been reviewed in v3n2, v9n1, and v10n2 by Susan Settlemyre Williams, who writes in v10n2, “Teare uses language . . . to explore a fragmented universe, with rifts running not only through the physical and emotional world but also between that world and God.” Four new poems are included in v12n2.
     
Tomas Tranströmer   Tomas Tranströmer
In the spring of 2011, the v10n1 issue of Blackbird featured Patty Crane’s new translation, along with the poems in the original Swedish, of 2011 Nobel laureate and Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer’s 1996 book Sorgegondolen (Sorrow Gondola).
