Book Description
An entertaining and wide-ranging selection from forty years of Wales' foremost poetry quarterly
The creation of Poetry Wales magazine in 1965 was a cultural and political act of enormous significance. Since then, it has become one of the most important journals dedicated to poets and critics in the UK and beyond.
Poetry Wales: Forty Years is an overview of what has been published in the magazine from the sixties to the present day, being both an essential collection of some of the best writing to come out of Wales, and a pointer towards a rich and varied future in which younger writers nurtured by the magazine will go on to celebrate Wales and the world. For readers anywhere, Poetry Wales: Forty Years is both a marvellous anthology and an indispensable tribute to the influence and ambition of one magazine.
