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.

Poetry Wales 60.3, our Spring 2025 issue, is a celebration of sixty years of publication.  Featuring sixty new Welsh poets chosen by Editor Zoë Brigley as ‘poets to watch’, plus an extended reviews section with reviews from top names in Welsh literature, you won’t want to miss out on what is sure to be a landmark issue in the history of the magazine.
