>New Issue: Blackbird Spring 2009

>The new issue of Blackbird is up, with fiction by Christine Schutt and Michael Croley, among others, poetry by Julie Funderburk and Wyatt Prunty, among others. (These are just some of the folks in this issue with Sewanee Writers Conference connections; there’s also a review by Sandra Beasley, and reviews of Sewanee alums Jennifer Chang, Aaron Baker, Dan Albergotti, and Lynn Chandhok. (Mary Flinn, Blackbird Editor, goes to Sewanee each year; I’m sure I missed some names here with Sewanee connections, for which I apologize.)
