Welcome to Bluebird Review, where poetry takes flight on the wings of creativity, passion, and a touch of the rebellious spirit. We are an online literary journal that seeks to capture the essence of poetry.
Like the city itself, our poetry is a kaleidoscope of colors, sounds, and emotions—a pulsating rhythm that echoes through the canyons and city streets. It embodies the audacity of neon lights against the night sky, the whispered secrets exchanged in dimly lit speakeasies, and the raw authenticity found amidst the hustle and bustle.
We are not bound by convention or confined by limits. Our pages embrace the avant-garde, the experimental, and the unapologetically unconventional. Our poetry dances on the precipice, daring to explore the depths of human experience, pushing boundaries, and challenging the status quo.
Just as the ever-changing landscapes of Los Angeles reflect a multitude of perspectives, we celebrate the diverse voices that weave their narratives into the tapestry of our journal. We invite emerging and established poets from all walks of life to submit their work—a melting pot of styles, themes, and perspectives that reflects the rich tapestry of this dynamic city and the world beyond.
Here at Bluebird Review, we believe that poetry is a catalyst for change. It is the voice that speaks truth to power, the brush that paints pictures with words, and the bridge that connects souls. It is the vehicle for the unsung stories, the unheard voices, and the unfiltered expressions that shape our shared human experience.
We encourage you to join us on this poetic journey, to bare your soul upon the page and let your words set free. Let the cool winds of creativity guide your pen as you dive into the depths of your imagination. Submit your most daring, thought-provoking, and boundary-breaking poetry to Bluebird Review.
Together, let us forge a community where the vibrant spirit of Los Angeles collides with the magic of words. Share your unique perspectives, your dreams and heartaches, and let your voice soar amidst the palm trees and concrete jungles. Los Angeles is our soul, but our poets hail from the four corners of the world.
Join us. Let your voice be heard. Submit your work here.
Warmest regards,
