Black Warrior Review
Black Warrior Review is a non-profit American literary magazine founded in 1974 and based at the University of Alabama. It is the oldest continuously run literary journal by graduate students in the United States. Published in print biannually, and online annually, BWR features fiction, nonfiction, poetry, comics, and art. Work appearing in BWR has been anthologized in the Pushcart Prize collection, The Best American Short Stories, Best American Poetry, and New Stories from the South. The Spring 1978 issue was the first to feature graphics and included a photo essay by Diane Mastin. Writer's Digest has named BWR as one of 19 "magazines that matter".
In 2018, BWR began its annual online edition, Boyfriend Village. Boyfriend Village is named after a short story by a former editor of BWR, Zach Doss, who died on March 15, 2018.
