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

ANGHARAD
Student, photographer, and procrastinator, amongst other things. Lives mainly in Nottingham (studying Economics & Philosophy for no known reason). Was recently accused of giving a friend a tour of Milton Keynes without showing them the concrete cows. Guilty.

JONATHAN ATTRILL
I am 36 and currently 'resting' as the actors say, but I have worked as a warehouseman, administrator, and mental health worker (not all at the same time, though). I have been published in The Interpreter's House and have had poems accepted for forthcoming issues of Iota and Obsessed With Pipework. I like performing/ reading my work on the London poetry circuit, especially at The Torriano, Kentish Town, and Survivors' Poetry at the Poetry Cafe. I recently won the London Writers Competition 2004, and have had a poem accepted for the National Poetry Anthology 2005.

KIT BOWMAN
Writer, actress, artist – a true Renaissance woman - MMT

MIKE CORMACK
I'm a 25 year-old chap currently studying at Aberdeen after doing a degree in English & Politics at Stirling. I've been writing creatively pretty much all my life but mostly sporadically, as and when the muse hits me. I only write when I've got something to say, which I hope comes through.

HOLLY DAY
Holly Day's poetry, fiction, and nonfiction have most recently appeared in Canadian Woman Studies, Skyway News, and Ruah. She currently works as a reporter and a writing instructor in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and lives with her two children and husband. Her hobbies include skateboarding, crocheting, and trying to peaceably communicate with uncooperative vending machines.

REX DE’ATH-VALE
Aged 9, Rex has enjoyed writing poetry for quite a lot of his life.  He was born in Milton Keynes, where he still resides.  Other poems he has written have included one about snow and one about his 'silly step-dad, Tony'.  His banana skin poem has been passed round the teachers at his school and admired before being given pride of place on the display wall.  Rex is also an artist (conceptual), song writer (there’s a fantastic one about a friend called Peter, who is a killer that lives underground) and is an amazing chess player (for his age)!  He once slept in a box but now prefers to relax with his family in the Lake District.

SIMON EDWARDS
As much as I love and adore Darcy the constraints of our relationship are beginning to pull. How I long to show him the sights of the town but those damn cattle grids are tearing us apart.

ANTHONY KANE EVANS
Conceived in Manchester. Shot in Sunderland. Edited in Newcastle. Colour corrected  in Copenhagen. Now showing in Monkey Kettle. Makes music videos, video spots for conferences and occasional documentaries for Danish television. His first short story appeared in the anthology Signals 3 (London Magazine Editions) back in 2001.

PAUL GRANT
Is 27 years old, works as a cleaner, and has lived in MK his whole life.

DIANE HAINSWORTH
As Anthony said to Cleopatra as he opened a crate of ale "oh I say, some girls are bigger than others"

THE HATCHER
...

ANDY HUMPHREY
hails from Merseyside. He has been living in Milton Keynes since February 2004 and trying to get in touch with his inner Anglo-Saxon. His favourite things include dragons, sunsets and single malt whisky, and his favourite colour is indigo.

NIKKI IBBOTSON
Nikki exists but doesn't know why.  She stops babies from crying in supermarkets and wishes she was a cartoon character with invincibility powers.  She makes music because she likes to, art because she wants to, and mess because she needs to.  She lives on a shoestring with a dog and a mouse (rip pico)  and has an addiction to all things sweet and chocolatey.

JAYMZ OTL
Has an ever-changing barnet – MMT.

CON McCLOSKEY
Has been away – sitting by Patriarchs Pond, Moscow (paying my respects to Bulgakov and the beautiful Margarita), and hobbling around the snow-covered streets of Arkangel thanks to a severely swollen achilles tendon.

DAVID R MORGAN
Teaches 11 to 19 year olds in Luton. David has also been an arts worker and literature officer and writer-in-residence for education authorities, a prison and a psychiatric hospital (which was the subject of a Channel 4 film Out Of Our Minds).

MARK O’BRIEN
...

LINDA PRESTON
I've scribbled poems and short stories on and off for years. Last year I was determined to try for publication. I joined a local creative writing group where the tutors have been most helpful and was pleased when a poem had a minor success in a recent poetry competition. I'm very influenced by Ted Hughes, Philip Larkin & U.A. Fanthorpe. I live in Lancashire close to the West Pennine Moors with husband, two grown up children (who return on & off) & a hyper half- greyhound dog who I take for long walks through nearby dark woodlands (which are very inspirational!). I'm always interested in writing about by-stander apathy & what makes people flip.

ERROL SCOTT
Errol Scott is a new writer, currently living in Munich. Since September 2003, his work has appeared or is upcoming: in the UK in Monkey Kettle, Chapman, Cadenza, and Connections; in the USA in Anthology Magazine and Creative With Words; and in Canada in Rampike.

IAN C SMITH
ICS lives in the East Gippsland region of south eastern Australia with his wife and four sons. He has been widely published in journals and on line. His two collections of poetry, These Fugitive Days, &, This is Serious, have both been published by Ginninderra Press. He had a poem in Best Australian Poetry, 2004 (UQP).

matthew m taylor
Is writing a play about the death of Anne Boleyn which has far more swearing in it than he had anticipated. He is also biting his nails down to jagged rakes, trying to get to sleep and failing, and attempting to cram most of the things he should have done in his twenties into the last few months of them.

JAMES TÜRL
Di rider finirai Pria dell’aurora, ballar non voglio.

SAM VILLIS
"Consistently average, i went to an art college to make myself feel better about my lack of talent, got my degree and now i don’t know what to do with it... now i'm one of the patronising receptionists that work at doctors surgeries... yeah that’s me..."
