Print magazine ordering is integrated through Shopify, which will open a new window for checkout. Upon payment success, our website’s Cart side panel may not reflect your order completion despite our coding efforts — exit it manually to prevent yourself from accidentally repurchasing. It should take one hour to receive your order confirmation email.
Typical print production time is 7-10 days. Shipping time is dependent on your chosen shipment method and locality, and could take up to 14 days or more to reach you.

About this Issue
Issue 15 marks not only Blood Tree Literature’s milestone 15th issue, but a transition point for our magazine. A new phase in our journey is beginning, and we wanted to honor all the amazing creatives that helped us grow from a seedling dream. We are beyond grateful to showcase work by so many talented, thoughtful writers and artists. To continue supporting them as best we can and show our appreciation, this special print issue features all new work from past BTL contributors!
While not being a themed issue, we were fascinated and touched by the common threads between the pieces of Issue 15. Themes emerged around mourning and grief, time and memory, and the pendulum between dismay and hope. There is both tenderness and blaze in these pages. Please enjoy it all, as we did.
Thank you so much to all of our incredible contributors for your creativity, patience, hard work, and dedication to inspired literary arts. Thank you to the professionals behind the screen (and page) that helped make this special issue able to come to fruition during our internal season of change. And thank you to all of our readers without whom none of this would be possible.

“I had a few reservations myself,
but they faded away as soon as the road
turned to gravel, and sheep
and wildflowers and cork trees
guided me home for the summer,
to Messejana.”
