In Flight v22n1, Blackbird reviewed Andra Rotaru's Tribar, translated from Romanian by Anca Roncea. Reviewer Matt Schroeder wrote, "The balance and tact employed in the translation make it impossible not to develop immense awe for Roncea’s skill." A collection of Roncea's original poetry, titled Telephony Building, was recently selected for publication by Tupelo Press. Congratulations, Anca! 🥳

Here are some of the books we browsed to help keep us inspired as Blackbird considers visual art submissions!
