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.

"There’s plenty for us to be in awe of. There’s plenty for us to dream. There’s plenty." – Duriel E. Harris in conversation with Kandace Siobhan Walker and Zakia Carpenter-Hall, Poetry Wales 60.2.

Poetry Wales 60.2 explores all of the mould-breaking forms that poetry can take and inspires readers to experiment for themselves.
