Black Oak Presents: A Quarterly Journal of Mid-American Culture

In our Summer 2010 issue, Black Oak brings you an exclusive interview with Andrew Yeoman of the Bay Area National Anarchists. BANA gained national attention earlier this spring when they were attacked by left-wing anarchists at a May Day rally in San Francisco. Read the interview and hear the fascinating story behind this incident, and join us for a conversion about Andrew's personal philosophy.

Black Oak Presents is packed full of opinions, artistry, and writing from America’s heartland. In this issue we feature art by Ryan Hoevenaar, Rachel Katzman, Kieran McGonnell, and more, plus fiction by Golda Carrico, Steven Clark, Robert Klein Engler, and Nick Vracar.

Steven Clark returns to Black Oak with his short story "Nero's Flame." Violet Cotton works at her garden undisturbed, until one day a young women named Alice stops at her home to sell flowers. There is only one problem: Alice is trapped by a cult. Through the magic of Nero's Flame, can Violet save the young women before it's too late? Find out in this issue of Black Oak Presents!
