Singular, idiosyncratic and a little mysterious, Black Clock is one of America's leading literary journals.

Issue— #7

Issue No. 7

Black Clock turns up the heat with its seventh issue. Bursting with twenty-five stories, one essay and four poems that flirt with and court outright sex and the erotic, Black Clock 7 is occasionally titillating, frequently audacious, and always provocative.
