Exciting news!

We are pleased to announce that the Winter 2009 issue is now online! You can also take a look at the Spring 2009 issue in the archives.

Don't forget that we are calling for submissions for the Spring 2010 issue, which will be out in April. If you have any poetry, prose, photography, literary criticism, or political or historical essays, please send them to thebirchjournal@gmail.com by Feb. 26, 2010. See the guidelines for submitting here.

And The Birch has just launched a blog to cover events relevant to Eastern Europe and Eurasia. A lot of the events will be on the campus of Columbia University or in New York City, but we encourage any students abroad or at other institutions to contribute content.
