The semi-annual magazines Buckle”: A Poetry Journal and Buckle & were published by Bernhard Frank in Buffalo, New York, from Fall 1977 to Spring/Summer 1982 and from Fall/Winter 1998 to Fall/Winter 2006, respectively. The titles for these magazines come from the following lines of the poem The Windhover by Gerard Manley Hopkins: “My heart in hiding / Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of, the mastery of the thing! // Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here / Buckle! AND the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion / Times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my chevalier!” All ten issues of Buckle” include poetry, poetry translations into English, and illustrations, and published such authors as Dennis Maloney, Marge Piercy, Jon Daunt, William Dickey, Alice Fulton, John Tagliabue, and Joan Colby. As Frank—a poet, translator, and retired professor of English at Buffalo State College—explains in the first issue of Buckle &, Buckle” came to an end because of “dwindling sales and burnout.” Several issues of Buckle & accepted submissions as part of a poetry contest, and over the span of its seventeen issues its contributors include Deborah Bogen, Joseph Lisowski, Constance Vogel, Dennis Saleh, Leonard Cirino, Shmu’ el Shatal, and John M. Bennett. Recurring features in both literary magazines include The Creative Process (juxtapositions of a poem’s manuscript next to the finished version with commentary by the poet), Cameo of the Poet (a brief biographical spotlight), The Buckle” of Younger Poets (poetry by elementary, high school, and college students), Editors Fling (poems by Frank), and numerous English translations of poetry in other languages.
