Wax Poetics is a quarterly journal focused on the African American musical tradition, from R&B and jazz to disco and hip-hop, with a look at all other funky music worldwide. With fifty issues in its ten-year history, Wax Poetics has profiled world-famous icons like Miles Davis, Dilla, James Brown, Herbie Hancock, Michael Jackson, Barry White, Ice Cube, Erykah Badu, Public Enemy, and Smokey Robinson, and has championed lesser-known musicians and crucial scenes like Detroit’s techno explosion and Memphis’s soul stew. Each issue is packed full of content—historical retrospectives on classic musicians as well as new and up-and-coming artists—and vintage photographs rarely seen elsewhere. Once known as a bible for record collectors, Wax Poetics has grown into a real force in both the publishing and music industries, capturing worldwide audiences whose thirst for musical knowledge is insatiable.

Latest reviews of Wax Poetics app for iPhone and iPad
But digital version does not seem to appear at the same time as the print version (lags behind by a week or so).
While the magazine is amazing as always I find myself having to zoom in to get rid of the blur on the pages and get a clear image. Compared to other iPad magazines I read the download times are a little slow and the library viewer isnt visually amazing but overall really solid and I really enjoy the magazine. Keep up the good work!
App does not allow you to purchase back issues which is my sole reason for purchasing this app!
I really dig this magazine and the app.
When launched only returns blank screen
