Founded in 1965, Poetry Wales is a quarterly magazine with an international outlook and a long-standing reputation for excellent poetry, critical features and reviews. It is currently a particularly exciting time for the magazine, with the appointment of a new editor - Zoë Skoulding - who succeeds Robert Minhinnick following his retirement after ten years at the helm.
The magazine presents outstanding new poetry from around the world and, of course, from Wales. Recent issues have featured poetry in translation from Poland, Slovakia, Argentina, Hungary, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Quebec, Galicia and Wales. Launches in the USA, Canada, and across Europe have strengthened links with a range of international poetry publications and communities of writers. At the same time, Poetry Wales remains committed to exploring the diverse perspectives of Welsh poetry in English from the past and present. Its interests in translation, and in exploring the meaning of local and national identities in a global context, are at the forefront of some of the most important developments in poetry today.
Poetry Wales emerges from a rich cultural background in which poetry in English exists alongside poetry in Welsh; it therefore welcomes a conversation that sees English-language poetry as part of wider relationships, both within Wales and beyond it. It is open to the possibilities offered by various forms of tradition and experiment, and publishes poetry from a broad range of approaches. Against this background of dynamic contrast, it offers a lively and informed critical context for the best new poetry.
