Blast: A Magazine of Proletarian Short Stories

Blast: A Magazine of Proletarian Short Stories was an American literary magazine that ran for five issues from September 1933 to November 1934. It has been credited as a forerunner "to a wave of independent radical journals that sprang up in surprising numbers in the United States in the following years". Based in New York City, it was edited by Fred and Betty Miller.

Each of the five issues of Blast included an original work by William Carlos Williams, who was a friend of the Millers. The magazine was intended by the Millers to serve as an alternative to New Masses which had, up to that point, dominated the leftist literary space in the United States.
