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.

Tracking the Muse Since 2007, we have asked contributors featured in our Introductions Loop to provide us with some insight to their creative process. The latest installment in v10n1 features three poets and three short fiction writers: Brittany Cavallaro, Julie Hensley, Jenny Johnson, Eve Jones, Chris Leo, and Yu Shibuya. Enjoy this commentary on how the happenstance and anguish of revision contribute to the magic and hard work of creative expression. |

Tomas Tranströmer Patty Crane’s new translation of Nobel laureate and Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer’s 1996 book Sorgegondolen (Sorrow Gondola) offers a chance to revisit these poems, to note their resonance, and to explore the influence they exercise on other writers. Included with the these translations are the poems in the original Swedish, an essay by David Wojahn, a letter to Tranströmer by Jean Valentine, and contextual influences of Franz Liszt. |

Norman Dubie Blackbird began publishing Norman Dubie’s book-length futurist poem, The Spirit Tablets at Goa Lake, with “Book of the Jewel Worm” in v1n2. The other two sections, “Book of the Jaspers” and “The Book of the Crying Kanglings,” appeared in v2n1 and v2n2 respectively. A master menu connects the sections across the three issues. Five additional poems by Dubie appear in v7n1 and seven poems in v10n1. |

Larry Levis In “Linnets,” Levis writes: “I will not have written these words, / I will be that silence slipping around the bend / in the river, where it curves out of sight among weeds, / the silence in which a car backfires and drives away, / and the father of that silence.” Each fall we honor his legacy with Levis Remembered, a reading loop of poetry, audio, essays, and multimedia by and about Levis as well as content from Levis Reading Prize event and winners. |

Kelly Cherry In v7n1, Kelly Cherry’s essay “The Achievement of George Garrett” investigates Garrett’s preoccupation with memory, autobiography, and fiction. She writes: “Of course, writers live real lives, lives of, as Garrett emphasizes, facts. A writer’s work necessarily reflects, distorted or not, those facts.” Cherry’s story, “On Familiar Terms,” which appears in v10n1, bends and complicates the facts of one family’s history. |

R.H.W. Dillard A longtime contributor and friend of Blackbird, Dillard has appeared in an interview conducted by Julia Johnson and a process essay, in v2n1, a review of Christine Schutt’s Florida, a selection of poetry from his collection What Is Owed the Dead in v5n1, and with an introduction to Liana Quill’s poems in v9n1. Here in v10n2, Dillard is reviewed by journal editor Randy Marshall and is interviewed by Sean Siobhan. |

David Roby David Roby’s “Art and Science,” winner of a 2006 Jean Kennedy Smith Playwriting Award, appeared in v7n1. In his introduction, he writes: “Most of my plays have something to do with the human body—the potentials of it, the restrictions of it, the beauty of it, the ugliness of it, our obsession with it.” Eight monologues from Unseen Character, an exploration into the absent characters in Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie, are in the v10n2 gallery. |

|
Sarah Vap Thirteen poems by Sarah Vap have previously appeared in Blackbird v5n1 and v7n2, with essays in v8n2 and v9n1. The most recent essay, “Deaf Spots,” chronicles Vap’s hearing challenges: “And I had, I thought, my own tiny and highly questionable window: mishears and silences: an opportunity for my own unconscious to insert meaning? . . . Some divine doorway kept open, always, a crack? And for what to slip in.” An interview with Vap appears in the current issue, v10n2. |

Mark Jarman
“Our destination is where we hope to arrive. / Simple enough but now a paradox, / Since now we cannot be certain of our arrival / And have to pray simply that we arrive,” writes Jarman in “Canzone” from our inaugural issue. He has has also appeared in v1n2 in an interview conducted by Mary Flinn and in an essay “Happiness: The Aesthetics of Donald Justice.” Three poems appear in the current issue, 10n2. |
