Birkensnake 5, released in 2012, was a free issue.[7]
The magazine has received positive reviews for content and format (it is available both electronically and in print).[8][9][10][11] The New York Times called Birkensnake a "sacred art object."[12]
Flavorwire listed Birkensnake 6 as "One of the Year's Coolest Literary Magazine Innovations" because it features seven different versions of the magazine created by seven different pairs of editors.[13]
