The Journal

BLR is a journal of humanity and the human condition. We publish two issues annually, filled with richly-textured poetry, fiction and nonfiction on the themes of health, illness, and healing.  Each issue features contemporary art on the cover. We invite you to join the vibrant BLR community–subscribe to the journal, submit your best writing, or support the arts by making a donation.
