issue 11

A message from the editor

The team at Black Fork Review is proud to see Issue 11 come to life. Featuring a diverse curation of poetry and fiction, this issue is brimming with questions about cracks and what they mean in our lives. You’ll read about fault lines, crags, splits and separations, and the canyon between life and death—or sometimes, the surprising lack thereof. In these poems and stories, we hope you find something alive and something stubbornly human to hold on to in these times of mass suffering and decay. Thank you for reading.
