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

Issue— #8

Issue No. 8

From the photograph of a tunnel leading deep into the magazine, to the poetry and prose collected between the covers bearing that image, Black Clock 8 speaks to a sense of wanderlust. Readers traversing these pages will find that them populated by nomads both literal and metaphoric, and criss-crossed by routes that lead through inner as well as outer space.
