From the Editor<\/h2>\n
Blast Furnace is an independent literary publisher based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, still often referred to as the steel city. Blast furnaces were utilized for smelting and refining industrial metals, generally iron, and were widely used in the creation of steel in the Pittsburgh\/Western Pennsylvania region during the United States’ 20th century steel industry boom. We accept a few kinds of submission formats: portable document format (.pdf), rich text format (.rft) and .doc\/docx (Microsoft Word) files, OR .mp3\/.wav audio files.<\/p>\n
Submissions<\/h2>\n
Blast Furnace’s mission is to publish refined poetry by “poets of place,\u201d with themes deeply rooted in place. We value poetry that is architecturally functional and distinctive on the page. We value poetry that is stripped\u2014burnt down\u2014to its purest state, in both form and context. We value brave poetry that takes risks and, therefore, resonates with a discriminating audience. We value soulful poetry from the core\u2014recited or read aloud\u2014as it was originally intended.<\/p>\n
