>Blackbird–Spring 2007

>
I’ve said this before, but I think Blackbird is one of the top online journals happening. The content is always excellent, the format is innovative and user friendly. It’s just good. So, you need to know that the Spring 2007 issue is now live and I’ve just spent some time browsing. I found some terrific poems by my Sewanee friend Leigh Ann Couch, some fine prose by William Henry Lewis (who, I remember him telling me when I met him here in Staunton last year, happens to be an old friend of Leigh Ann’s), and also work by Michael Griffith, another friend from Sewanee. And there’s much more. Check it out.
