Poetry Wales

Founded in 1965, Poetry Wales is a triannual magazine with an international reputation for excellent poems, features and reviews from Wales and beyond. Emerging from a rich bilingual culture, Poetry Wales explores the diverse perspectives of Welsh poetry in English and its international relationships.

Its interest in translation, and in local and national identities in a global context, are at the forefront of some of the most exciting developments in poetry today. The magazine is open to tradition and experiment, publishing poetry from a wide range of approaches. Against this background of dynamic contrast, it offers a lively and informed critical context for the best contemporary poetry.

This issue explores global poetry, featuring an interview with poetry rock star Eileen Miles and voices from Ireland, Nigeria, the U.S., Canada, India, and more. It includes translations, collaborations, and a spotlight on the short poem, introduced by an interview with Dean Atta, author of Black Flamingo.
