Blackbird: an online journal of literature and the arts While it is true that excellence can be differently defined and construed, our primary definition will be this: Beyond simple obvious criteria such as “well written in a variety of technical senses,” and “original in terms of subject and style,” excellent writing challenges traditions in profound ways, and is radical insofar as it is aware of its own origins in tradition and seeks to expand the boundaries of the realm of discourse of which it is a part.

The Black Herald The Black Herald is an international partly bi-lingual (English-French) literary magazine, based in Paris. Edited by Blandine Longre & Paul Stubbs, the magazine’s aim is to publish original world writers not necessarily linked in any way by ‘theme’ or ‘style’. Writing that we deem can withstand the test of time and resist popularization–the dangers of instant literature for instant consumption. Writing capable of escaping the vacuum of the epoch.

The Black Boot Things that move--characters, lines, ideas. Images that evoke--memory, sense, emotion. Writing that lives--on the page, the bridge between two minds, reader and writer. Voices that carry-- through a room, down the road, over time. The Black Boot finds writers and artists who care about the authentic, the volcanic, the experimental, the sensitive, the brazen, the heart. Help us guide our flashlight beams into the dark corners of the world as we unearth the stories that rattle us to the core. Who do you want to trip with?	Poetry, Fiction	Yes	Yes	Jan 1 - Dec 31

Blast Furnace Our mission is to publish refined poetry by "poets of place," with themes deeply rooted in place. We value refined poetry that is architecturally functional and distinctive on the page. We value poetry that is stripped--burnt down--to its purest state, in both form and context. We value brave poetry that takes risks and, therefore, resonates with a discriminating audience. We value soulful poetry from the core--recited or read aloud--as it was originally intended.	Poetry	Yes	Yes	Jan 2 - Dec 31	Web Audio Video
