I just posted Albatross #19 at the main site. The print issue is forthcoming in a week or so (finalized the files and delivered to the printer today, giving him the go-ahead to print 100 copies).
It’s always a bit of a relief to get another issue out there. I know it’s a relief for the poets, who have sometimes waited a year or two to see their poem in print. It’s always up in the air, too, until the poem is actually in print, since the journal might fold up shop in the meantime.
I’ve always tried to keep Albatross small so that it never outgrew itself. I’ve seen journals start out as quarterlies only to see them burn out after a few years. Albatross is published about once per year and has been doing so for 23 years, a not unremarkable feat for a poetry journal I’m proud to say!
