Featuring contributions from nearly 70 of today’s most important and exciting voices, Black Clock 6 turns its attention fully to poetry. The works collected here are diverse, but they are unified by a common commitment to formal experimentation, sensual language, emotional complexity and, above all, surprise.
Singular, idiosyncratic and a little mysterious, Black Clock is one of America's leading literary journals.
