Poetry Magazines - The best collection of poetry magazines online - Simon Armitage

The Seventh Quarry Swansea Poetry Magazine aims to publish quality poems from around the world. Poets from the U.K., America,  Canada, Argentina, Spain, India, Czech Republic, Serbia and Romania have already appeared in its pages. Poets such as Wes Magee, Peter Finch, Patrick Jones, Aeronwy Thomas, Daniel Weissbort, David Curzon, Charles Fishman, Stanley H. Barkan and Vince Clemente. Vince Clemente, as the magazine's Consultant Editor: America, ensures a steady stream of American poets.


Each issue features a Poet Profile, a batch
of pages given over to a chosen poet.
So far there have been profiles of
Welsh poet J.C. Evans, America's
Vince Clemente and Rose Slivka,
who was a close friend of Dylan
and Caitlin Thomas. The policy is
to try to alternate between a British
poet and a non-British poet. There
is also a Books and Magazines page,
which provides details and brief
comments on received publications.


The magazine has recently become a co-operating partner with Cross-Cultural Communications Publishers, New York. The partnership has already contributed to the magazine being displayed at several prestigious literary events in America and the future publication in Quarry of work by the late, Pulitzer prize-winner Stanley Kunitz.

The magazine has also been contracted to The Poetry Library's (Royal Festival Hall, London) prestigious digitisation project, which will ensure copies of the magazine are featured on its very popular website: regarded by many as the best source for poetry in the U.K. Quarry was featured in The Guardian, one of Britain's leading daily newspapers, in April 2006.

The editor also organises The Seventh Quarry Presents poetry evenings. The first, at the Dylan Thomas Centre in Swansea, featured a visit by American poet Stanley H. Barkan.



The magazine is now 64 pages and appears twice a year, in January and July. It costs £3.50 per issue or £7 for a year's subscription (two copies). $10 and $20 for USA subscribers.



Please enclose a s.a.e. with submissions of no more than FOUR poems.
