Welcome to the online edition of The Blackbird Review, Voorheesville’s magazine of literature and the arts. Founded in 2005, the Review strives to showcase the best writing, photography, digital art, and music from Clayton A. Bouton High School students.

"I know noble accents And lucid, inescapable rhythms; But I know, too, That the blackbird is involved In what I know." ~Wallace Stevens “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird”

We publish the online edition of the magazine year-round, but also publish two print editions, one in the winter and one in the spring.
