Birkensnake

Birkensnake is a small press literary magazine[1] published annually in Rhode Island, USA. The magazine was founded by Brian Conn and Joanna Ruocco when they were MFA students at Brown University. Birkensnake 1 was released in 2008.[2] Birkensnake 2, published in 2009, received media attention, garnering mostly positive reviews.[2][3][4][5] "The Children's Factory," a story by Michael Stewart which appeared in Birkensnake 2, won the 3rd annual Micro Award.[6] That issue also contained stories by Matt Briggs, Caren Gussoff, and Blake Butler. Birkensnake 5, released in 2012, was a free issue.[7]

The magazine has received positive reviews for content and format (it is available both electronically and in print).[8][9][10][11] The New York Times called Birkensnake a "sacred art object."[12]

Flavorwire listed Birkensnake 6 as "One of the Year's Coolest Literary Magazine Innovations" because it features seven different versions of the magazine created by seven different pairs of editors.[13]
