FOREWORDEach spring Blackbird’s Introductions Reading Loop recognizes new artists of note whose work strikes us as exceptionally fine and full of promise. Joining this company for 2. Graham Hillard, Cindy King, and Dustin Pearson; fiction writers Colin Orr and Heidi Vornbrock Roosa; and essayist Caitlin Mc. Gill. Hillard, King, and Pearson share an interest in investigating time and a persistent suspicion of alienation through the agency of often overlooked animals. Hillard muses on the “Oldest Squirrel Monkey in Captivity” that “It is impossible not to think of you / as mindful of the body they have // taken, living tribute whose every hour / affirms our genius.”Cindy King in turn charges night crawlers to “Flee from my tread, peel / yourselves from your lovers. Return / once again to blindness.” And Pearson’s series of epistolary poems to his avatar, Mr. Hen, invites us to reconsider the animalistic act of inception, when “That open sore of theirs stretches and thins as if to grope and slow the thing’s momentum, to deliver it safely.” Through careful language and affectionate observation, Mc. Gill, Orr, and Vornbrock Roosa find that the most significant journey a writer or character can make follows an emotional arc refracting interior subtlety onto an exterior world. Thus Mc. Gill finds in her neighbor’s “rotting car whose interior is so packed that sometimes you cannot tell that the windows . Vornbrock Roosa’s Shon, who also struggles to understand her mother, uses marine biological science to articulate that complicated love: “Shon felt all she had rehearsed well up in her, all she knew to say. It began to spill out there and then. She heard herself, couldn’t stop it now. Talk of the bay, both bays, all bays, the work that needed to be done to preserve them.”Orr’s language provides the vehicle for entering the world of graffiti tagging and for recognizing its importance to his narrator. In the narrator’s eyes, a wall of graffiti becomes “an artificial aurora borealis, struggling, chained to the earth, a welcoming sight to nighttime travelers and revelers.”The First Novelist Reading Loop presents Angela Flournoy, winner of the 2. Cabell First Novelist Award for The Turner House, which takes Detroit in its rough- edged beauty and simmering tensions as its subject. As reviewer Matthew Phipps notes, however, “Flournoy approaches her material through the wider lens of fiction, offering readers a harmonious and ultimately reassuring vision of home and familial love.”Flournoy reads an excerpt from the novel before joining a panel discussion about the process of writing and publishing. Also included is Flournoy’s craft- based conversation with members of the VCU community. A review of the The Turner House appears in Nonfiction, and an excerpt from the novel appears in Fiction. Blackbird Nest BoxThe Claudia Emerson Reading Loop remembers the poet through her work as it was read by Kathleen Graber, Jill Mc. Corkle, Emilia Phillips, Wyatt Prunty and other students, colleagues, admirers, and friends at the 2. AWP Conference in Los Angeles. Also included are Andrew Hudgins’s essay “Claudia Emerson: Elegy After Elegy,” reprinted here with permission from The Writer's Chronicle, and Lauren Miner’s collection of photographs of Emerson’s Richmond tree house, the summer 2. VCU poetry students. Often the writers in this issue question how much our present moment dissociates us all from a shared past. They examine the wounded moment we are living through, diagnosing the extent to which the essential processes that bind us have broken down. A few, like Dana Crum, prognosticate: “You are alone. And no one / is coming to save you.” Others scurry backward, through myth and doctrine, devising, on the fly, new methodologies for soul- triage. Margaret Gibson reminds us that we are “wed to a cosmos / light- years deep,” even if the “prism of lit dew” gracing “the spray of fern” at her refigured Eurydice’s ankle “as yet clarifies nothing.” C. Dale Young conjures the ghost of Isabella of Castile, foremother of his own mestizo blood, to witness, “Los blancos now require more than beads.” How, against his own desire, he has “bowed” and “smiled” and “deferred,” to them with gestures “as common as salt, as common as rain.”Kathy Fagan’s speaker evolves from a being “preserved by something” in the world to “the preserving spirit” undergirding it, and Diana Arterian sketches one possible tomorrow as a “frowning wanderer” committing a “little wild crime” even as “the earth licks the grave.” Jennifer Franklin orders us, like a general from a contested hilltop, to “take over the music that pounds through every / living thing.” Not to secure a certain destiny but because “every song of grief is still song.”Derek Mong’s visionary perambulation of the San Francisco cityscape—its “sumptuous destitution,” its streets “bright with constellated smart phones / and sparks” off trolleys—leads somehow through the ancient desert where sainted hermit and harlot parents of Christianity scrawled their encyclicals in sand. Disable and remove all Windows spying, telemetry, GWX, Windows 10-upgrade pop-ups, the easy way. No ads, no bullshit. Updated regularly. Perhaps it is no accident that human tongues have evolved to name one fifth of all we taste as bitter. Haunted by “grandmothers giving hickeys to / bruised plums,” Vi Ki Nao’s sumptuous poetic recipes taunt, “If your sleep is champagne / Mine is whiskey on ice,” geared for the palates of “sinners craving / Thunderstorms.” Seth Brady Tucker’s “Kwik- n- Reddy™ Pastry Recipe for Poetry Golem” lampoons a very different culinary tradition with the earthy certainty that we all embody a “dash [of] pain,” a “pinch [of] lust,” and a “hint [of] madness.” In Fiction, Zoe Gadegbeku’s protagonist has been ambushed by a grief that has booted her out of the regular rhythm of time that we expect to anchor a reality we trust. What does it feel like to attend a stranger’s funeral?” she wonders. It’s a hazy sort of feeling, really. You think that you may have lost everything and everyone that is important to you, but the edges of your grief have been blurred, softened by denial.”The ambition to control time and possibility undergirds Amina Gautier’s characters as they survey the presents received at a baby shower, anticipating the arrival of a daughter. How might these presents determine her future, they ask. She wants to return the presents with notes of apology that say: No princesses allowed. Her husband says they can accept the gifts and toss them, or pass them on to others. But it’s not just one gift.”A baby, their fifth, also dominates the world of Hattie and Abel, Janet Peery’s couple making their way through the decades of the post–war twentieth century. The coming child raises uneasy questions for them both, and Hattie particularly dreads the smothering attention the new child will demand, the sense of self she will misplace. Maybe in order to consider the things she liked most to think about, the great mysteries of faith and love and hope and to feel like herself in her own skin, she simply needed great stretches of quiet.”In Nonfiction, Paisley Rekdal’s evocation of a particular day—“The late afternoon sun is fierce. Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for the moment to arise. Blackbird singing in. · Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free. Blackbird fly Blackbird fly. The cool noon temperature has slowly heated up under a thick bank of clouds that trap the sun but block any breeze, turning the air into a muggy broth”—breaks like a tensile wire when the past itself, in the person of a man wielding a knife, erupts into the lives of shoppers at a Salt Lake City grocery store. E. L. Tremblay, on the other hand, confronts a disruption within—one initiated by her own waywardly beating heart: “The third time it happens, it scares me enough that I tell my mother, but she dismisses it offhand as asthma and I am willing to believe her because I am nine.”Kelly Cherry, Chelsea Gillenwater, Amanda Goemmer, Rosanna Oh, and Cassie Pruyn review new books by Duffie Taylor, Rae Meadows, Sara Majka, Jane Wong, and Joshua Jennifer Espinoza to complete the section. In Gallery, Liz Appel’s short dream play poses the question: “If we could just / find one we both agree on, / one story / from when we were young, / wouldn’t that, / just for a moment, / erase the distance?”Jorge Miguel Benitez surveys the paintings of Javier Tapia with another kind of question entirely: “What can paint do?” This query finds its answer in the precise mastery the artist brings to the medium of watercolor. Readings by Carrie Brown and Hiba Krisht (celebrating the Tarumoto Short Fiction Prize), and Gregory Kimbrell and Allison Titus appear in Features to complete the issue. Return to top menus | Browse. While male blackbirds live up to their name, confusingly, females are actually brown, often with spots and streaks on their breasts. You'll quite often spot these. Blackbird makes Ekoa and carbon fiber guitars and ukuleles including Clara, Farallon, BTU, Rider steel string, Savoy, Rider nylon, El Capitan and Lucky 13. The common blackbird (Turdus merula) is a species of true thrush. It is also called Eurasian blackbird (especially in North America, to distinguish it from. Blackbird Foreword, v. FOREWORDThis fall marks Blackbird’s fifteenth Levis Remembered, which calls attention to the work of Larry Levis and recognizes Rickey Laurentiis, winner of the nineteenth annual Levis Reading Prize. Included in this year’s Reading Loop are: Levis’s “Poem Ending with a Hotel on Fire” and “Elegy with a Darkening Trapeze Inside It,” both of which come from his second posthumous poetry collection, The Darkening Trapeze: Last Poems; the audio of a 2. AWP Conference & Bookfair panel discussion on the book, moderated by its editor, David St. John, and featuring commentary by poets Carolyn Forché, Linda Gregerson, and Mark Doty; a reproduced manuscript version of “Poem Ending with a Hotel on Fire”; and an extended review essay about The Darkening Trapeze by poet and essayist Matt Donovan. Also included is the trailer for Michele Poulos’s 2. A Late Style of Fire: Larry Levis, American Poet. Four poems from Laurentiis’s prizewinning collection, Boy with Thorn, are presented alongside poet Keith S. Wilson’s review of the book, as well as audio from the Levis Reading Prize event, featuring a commemorative essay on Levis by Gregory Donovan. A poet highly responsive and responsible to the intensities of witness and remembrance, Laurentiis also examines the witnessing self: “What is it / my mind wants to get at, always extending, hungering, looking / back, always tearing open again its own modernity,” and he asks, “it is a thorn?” Laurentiis’s work fits as a tonal reflection of much of the issue’s other work, in which the writers seem particularly attuned to Dr. Williams’s charge: that we get the news from poetry or bear the consequences. Betty Adcock, for instance, reminds us that the least among us might not wear human faces at all. The dark news that she reports sings truth to the refusals of the mighty, that “the blind and unhearing will learn / water not by touch but by absence, / in a silence whose name is thirst.”Choosing to report on the American experiment from the perspective of a witnessed past, Laura Da’s quartet of historical narratives follow Crescent—youngest son of a God- prostrated, failed farmer—from his birth on “rich land puckered / between the Salundy and Corn Creek,” through young manhood, into Ohio and the life of a surveyor on “the frontier’s flirting terminus.”However, work by Ivorian poet Josué Guébo challenges us to reconsider our notions of exclusive nationality via the uncomplaining apostrophe of a speaker braving international waters, addressing the very waves that promise to save and/or destroy him. Meanwhile, he assures us, safe readers, that “There is much worse than a raft / adrift.” As translator Todd Fredson argues, Think of Lampedusa is not a poem of “escape or exile, but an inquiry into expanded belonging.”Fatalism in a minor key rings out from Jenny Irish’s young poet who observes, “Unless we go by way of some slapstick accident, / the thing that will kill us is already inside us, / in all our bodies, built there, belonging where it nests.” Rodney Jones explores another personal landscape to recall the denizens of his younger days, only to land back in “Cold Springs” where, the poet concedes, “the square has gone to shit. Tar paper on the hardware. Plywood on the depot. On the light pole in front of the closed movie theater the announcements for fire sales, revivals, and tractor pulls have formed a hard, white laminate of papier- mâché.”Striking a more lyrical note of calm reflection enables Lena Khalaf Tuffaha to infuse her tale of childhood global journeys with a faint optimism, noting her youthful admission: “I move around // trailing my tribe in an orderly dance,” acquiring worldly wisdom enough to recognize how “Nowhere // is a homeland, too.”Documenting a different sort of exile, Tobias Wray uses the textual formalities of drama, its parenthetical involutions of stage direction and overt dialogue tags, to baffle the barrage of full and slant rhymes along the right margin of his queer auto- da- fé. Doing so, he renders visible the deadly silences that persist among boys and men whose relationships (erotic or otherwise) suffer when “Everything” is “left this way, / as apogee, as hosanna.”The chore of making sense of where we live for our children drives Robert Wrigley’s encyclopedic tribute to the state of Idaho. His poem faces, head- on, the tribulation that, as a political entity, the state“was established by the republic / it hardly seems to want to be a part of anymore.”Similarly, G.

C. Waldrep’s eerie, belated prescience might serve as another cautionary tale for what’s to come. Our predicament? To choose either “a god of flowers” or “a god of bones.” So much for old, fraught brotherhood, when “every day [is] an election / among the arteries, the veins.”Essential bard of the fugitive life, David Wojahn offers a sampling of new poems whose historical elements pile up—quite democratically—over intimate lunch scenes and natural disasters alike. On the one hand he gives us a lush, late dirge for Claudia Emerson, celebrating the way her faith “Lay always in unsealing, in the gnosis we carry, / Luminous & mortal within.” On the other, he speaks as a modest Jeremiah: “ . . . O let me shut the book upon this all. The apocalypse is always personal, / which is one definition of art. The apocalypse is never personal, which is another truth entirely.”In Fiction, the married couple of Adam Latham’s story, “The Lizard Man,” mourn the tragic death of their young son and set out on a hungry pursuit of legendary cryptids in the American wilderness. In their desperate search, they discover only a haunting emptiness echoing back the memories of their child from a darkness where no light is promised. Brimming with vitriol, Terese Svoboda’s narrator in “A Thankful Scenario” reports the nihilistic sorrow of her father during the holidays, while also questioning the role of the parent, the expectation of the child, and the looming awareness of death that truncates them both. Gone AWOL during the war in Afghanistan, Courtney, the narrator of Jesse Goolsby’s “We Drag Our Feet near the Stingrays,” tries to find meaning in a life now devoid of structure and purpose, while the disparity between who we are and what we seem to be is the central focus of TJ Beitelman’s “Joy.” This disparity also echoes in Susan Thornton’s “A Visit from the Bishop,” a deceptively genteel evisceration of hypocrisy. In Nonfiction, Darnell Arnoult’s essay, “When I Started to Cry,” attempts to understand “when the weeping started or why.” Similarly, Pamela Gerhardt presents a finely balanced account of personal griefs and collective tragedy in the just- post- September 1. France, remembering how “people approached us as one might a person whose family member had died: ‘Je suis désolé,’ they would say. I am sorry.”An evocative trio of flash prose pieces by Beth Ann Fennelly melds memoir and the matchless voice of a poet whose wit and wry humor combine with amazing grace. Summarizing herself, she warns: “Friends materializing by my side. Ripe fruit dangling overhead. Unpremeditated bliss. Is it clear to you now, at last, and forever? That’s the type of assistance I need.”Also in Nonfiction, essays by Anna Journey and Randy Marshall excavate the archeological origins of the creative life, Journey in a dissection of the stories told by her own family and Marshall in a close reading of the poet T. R. Hummer. Victoria C. Flanagan, Chelsea Gillenwater, Matthew Phipps, and Laura Van Prooyen review new books by Jordan Rice, Eliot Treichel, Paula Whyman, and Patty Paine. In Gallery, David Caudle’s Likeness brings us to colonial Boston, where the Stamp Act has just been passed. A young, ambitious artist has been commissioned for a painting that will solidify the wealth of his employer if properly received, but the employer’s demands clash with his artistic integrity. As a victim of moral taxation, the young artist must decide whether to yield to the ordained representation, or forge his own. George Ferrandi’s “Fugitive Materials,” based on a 2. It culminates in an afterword about her 2. Japan, and her current JUMP! STAR project celebrating the eventual change, in a thousand years, of the North Star. Also included is Ferrandi’s TEDx. VCU Talk on her attempts, on the New York Subway, to sculpturally change “the shape of the space between strangers to the shape of the space between friends, or lovers.”Eight photographs by noted photographer Gordon Parks taken between 1. Virginia Museum of Fine Arts between 2. Sarah Eckhardt’s commentary from a recent VMFA exhibit. The photographs appear here courtesy of the museum and The Gordon Parks Foundation. Some of these photographs were first published in photo essays by Parks in Life magazine. Readings by David St. John, Anna Journey, and Dinty Moore complete the issue. Return to top menus | Browse.
