Magazine Stand :: Blue Collar Review – Winter 2023-24

The Winter 2023-24 issue of Blue Collar Review is a collection of poems, short stories, literary reviews, and illustrations that “speaks to the times,” the editors write. “It speaks of losses, personal and financial. Poets here rail at the utter corruption of empire and of those of us sacrificed to pad the pockets of the Pentagon and profiteers. There are poems of medical dread, of the difficulties of becoming old, ill and cast aside. There are poems on homelessness, a story on human trafficking and poems on the proliferation of guns and violence in our own country as well as on our export of them around the world. [ . . . ] What this underscores is the desperate need for systemic change — for revolution. That requires building a critical mass which includes all of us.”
