Blast Furnace

Based in East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Blast Furnace is an on-line, independent literary journal seeking new and established poetic voices 18 years of age and older.

Our mission is to publish refined poetry by "poets of place,” with themes deeply rooted in place. We value refined poetry that is architecturally functional and distinctive on the page. We value poetry that is stripped—burnt down—to 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—recited or read aloud—as it was originally intended.
