For four decades PN Review has been a place to discover new poems in English and in translation as well as interviews, news, essays, reviews and reports from around the world.

During 2023 PN Review is celebrating its jubilee. Since we started as Poetry Nation, a twice yearly hardback, in 1973, we've been publishing new poetry, rediscoveries, commentary, literary essays, interviews and reviews from around the globe.
This issue includes Jane Duran on her poet father and Spain; Ukrainian poet Oksana Maksymchuk in conversation with Sasha Dugdale, and a wide selection of her poems drawn from the conflict; Recovering the Welsh poet Iwan Llwyd; Tom Pickard’s Chapters of Memory; Introducing German poet Mara-Daria Cojocaru; and Jon Glover, editor of Stand, in conversation.
Our vast archive now includes over 270 issues, with contributions from some of the most important writers of our times. Key contributors include Octavio Paz, Laura Riding, John Ashbery, Patricia Beer, W.S. Graham, Eavan Boland, Jorie Graham, Donald Davie, C.H. Sisson, Sinead Morrissey, Sasha Dugdale, Anthony Vahni Capildeo, and many others.
We'll be celebrating throughout the year: look out for announcements of our events in the autumn, and subscribe to our free newsletter to get choice morsels of archive straight to your inbox.

‘The most engaged, challenging and serious-minded of all the UK’s poetry magazines.’
Simon Armitage
'...probably the most informative and entertaining poetry journal in the English-speaking world.'
John Ashbery
‘…the premier British poetry journal. Its coverage is broad and generous: from John Ashbery to new young English poets, from essays on Continental poetics and fiction to reviews of neglected poets both living and dead. At a time when poetry is largely neglected, [it] continues to make an eloquent case for its centrality to our culture.'
Marjorie Perloff
'...high-toned but bracing.'
Boyd Tonkin, Independent
'It has attempted to take poetry out of the backwaters of intellectual life and to find in it again the crucial index of cultural health.'
Cairns Craig, Times Literary Supplement
