As with any magazine, the best way to get a feeling of what might garner Molly Bloom's approval is of course to read what's appeared in it before.

Butcher's Dog is a new biannual poetry magazine, founded in the North East of England by seven poets who each won a Northern Promise Award from New Writing North in 2010 and/or 2011. Following tutorship from poet Clare Pollard and with the encouragement and support of Chief Executive of New Writing North, Claire Malcolm, Butcher's Dog was created. The magazine is now co-edited by six of the original group.
The first issue featured work from the founding poets and launched at Durham Book Festival in October 2012. The magazine is now open to submission from writers anywhere in the UK - with a special interest in work from poets based in the North of England. See the submissions guidelines for more information.
A different combination from the original seven edits each edition: Luke Allan and Wendy Heath took on the first issue, Andrew Sclater and Degna Stone the second, and Sophie F Baker, Jake Campbell and Amy Mackelden edited the third. From 2014 each combination includes a guest editor alongside the founding members: issue 4 was edited by Sophie F Baker and guest editors Will Barrett and The Poetry School. Issue 5 is edited by Amy Mackelden, Andrew Sclater and guest editor Carolyn Jess-Cooke.
Each magazine is a beautiful object created with care and attention, printed on FSC registered paper, saddle-stitched with a colour dust jacket. All issues are available to buy from our shop - and you can also subscribe.

In terms of the magazine's position with regard to contemporary poetry, there is a clear inclination towards the more exploratory end of the current spectrum. Notwithstanding this, however, quality work of a more conservative kind will always be considered seriously, provided that the work is well-written. What I do not like at all is sloppy writing of any kind; I always look for some rigour in the work, although I will be more forgiving of failure in this regard if the writer is trying to push out the boundaries. I tend to like mixing work from both ends of the spectrum in the magazine, and firmly believe that good writing can, and should, cohabit with other forms of good writing, regardless of the aesthetic that drives it, and regardless of whether the practitioners are happy about such cohabitation.

“‘Areté is a journal as exquisite in its execution as in its intentions.” – John Updike
“Incredible value – and no one interested in contemporary culture (novels, poetry, plays, films, reputations) should miss this fiery, funny, robustly intelligent commentary on our arts and times.” – William Boyd

Praise for The Retrospective:
‘Founded in 1999, Arete is a triannual literary magazine exhilaratingly unafraid of its eclectic tastes. The pieces in this selection from its first thirteen years give a good idea of how enjoyably far-ranging its interests are. There’s a radio play by Tom Stoppard; a brilliant, experimental piece on memory by Julian Barnes; and an interview of Steven Pinker by Ian McEwan. A box of abundant treats for the catholic and the curious.’ – Robert Collins, The Sunday Times
‘Everything in here works. It’s as simple as that.’ – Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian

The London Magazine is England’s oldest literary periodical, with a history stretching back to 1732. Today – reinvigorated for a new century – the Magazine’s essence remains unchanged: it is a home for the best writing, and an indispensable feature on the British literary landscape.
Across a long life – spanning several incarnations – the pages of the Magazine have played host to a wide range of canonical writers, from Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Hazlitt and John Keats in the 18th-century, to T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden and Evelyn Waugh in the early 20th-century.
Meanwhile, in recent decades the Magazine has published work by giants of contemporary fiction and poetry such as William Boyd, Nadine Gordimer, and Derek Walcott.

Submit: www.thedarkhorsemagazine.com/submit.html
postal submission, email reply preferred:no limit on poem length: no submission windows
The Dark Horse was founded in 1995 by the Scottish poet Gerry Cambridge. It is an international literary magazine committed to British, Irish and American poetry, and is published from Scotland.
We like to think that the journal is characterised by a clear-sighted scepticism and an eye for the genuine. We understand that hype, in its presumption of consensus, is irrelevant to readers of any individuality. Not that we equate poetry with solemnity. We are, by turns, or sometimes simultaneously, serious, wry, humorous, iconoclastic.
While we are glad to print poetry in metre and rhyme, we remember Randall Jarrell’s “Where poems have hearts, a metronome is beating here.” We believe that we can recognise poems of sound heart. Not being evangelical or overly partisan, we also print compelling free verse.
We publish, too, a mix of stylish and engaged essays, reviews, interviews, polemics and appreciations. At times these are groundbreaking: our interviews with, for example, Philip Hobsbaum and the poet-scientist G. F. Dutton are the most extensive of their kind available.

an independent, international literary magazine
Tears in the Fence is an internationalist literary magazine based in the U.K. Publishing a variety of contemporary writers from around the world, it provides critical reviews of recent books, anthologies and pamphlets and essays on a diversity of significant modern and contemporary English and American poets. Each issue features a number of regular columnists adding wide focus and independent thought on the contemporary poetry world.
We appreciate social and poetic awareness; enjoy what’s spontaneous, strong and direct
alongside writing that prompts close and divergent readings.
While our central focus stems from the political
and socio-economic predicaments of the
individual in relation to his/her historical and geographical landscape, Tears in the Fence
is open to other human issues and concerns
and seeks to be forward-looking in relation
to current developments within world poetry. We believe in difference and the other. We admire tradition and experiment. We are thus eclectic and encourage localised and wider, divergent reading.
Effective writing perhaps stems from giving
equal measure to the known and unknown, simplicity and difficulty, sound and sense, in an economic, vivid and uplifting way.

Stinging Fly

Subscription: www.stingingfly.org/subscribe
Submit: www.stingingfly.org/about-us/submission-guidelines
normally postal submissions: no limit on poem length: submission windows
The Stinging Fly magazine was established in 1997 to seek out, publish and promote the very best new Irish and international writing.
We believe that there is a need for a magazine that, first and foremost, gives new and emerging writers an opportunity to get their work out into the world. We are particularly concerned to provide an outlet for short story writers: each issue features several short stories and we also devote entire issues to new fiction when the mood takes us.
The first issue appeared in March 1998. It was edited by founding editors Aoife Kavanagh and Declan Meade, and consisted of 28 A4 pages with five short stories and about twenty poems. In 2000 we introduced an author interview slot to the magazine, and in 2001 Eabhan Ní Shúileabháin became poetry editor and we incorporated book reviews into the magazine. In 2004 we toyed with the idea of giving it all up, but in 2005 came shuffling back with the first issue of a new volume.
We remain convinced, however, that The Stinging Fly’s lasting contribution will be the opportunities it continues to give to new writers.
We publish three issues of the magazine each year. Submission guidelines can be found here.

postal or email submissions, but read requirement on the site: no limit on poem length: no submission windows
Founded in 2001 after the demise of The Poet’s Voice (ed. Fred Beake, Wolfgang Görtschacher, James Hogg, 1993-2000), and appearing regularly ever since, the magazine publishes poetry, long poems, review essays, articles about poets and poetic issues, translations, and interviews. Each issue contains work by 50-60 poets, a range of poems in translation by usually three poets not well known on the English poetry scene, and three in-depth review-essays focusing on 10-12 recently published collections. Once a year a poet-critic is commissioned to review 4-5 pamphlets.
The editorial policy is catholic – David Miller, a member of ther Editorial Board from No. 1 to No. 18 – summarised our beliefs in the following way: “[We] wish to highlight and promote those poets and poetic writers whose work [we] find challenging, singular, exciting – whatever, if any, their allegiances may be.” Present-day poetry would do well to recur to poetry as rhythmic structure and patters of sound instead of chatting along amiably in what is only nominally verse.
The experience of poetry as sound demands craftsmanship, a training in rhythm, metre, and phonology (the colour of Rimbaud’s vowels!), something to be recommended to young poets if they want their poems to move beyond the page. We want to do all this in a way that is accessible to the general reader, but is nevertheless not simplistic.
Editors: Wolfgang Görtschacher, Andreas Schachermayr
Editorial Board: Ally Acker, William Bedford, Robert Dassanowsky, John Mateer, Caitriona O'Reilly

Competition: www.poetrylondon.co.uk/competition
From modest beginnings in 1988, when it was a listings newsletter, Poetry London has developed into one of the UK’s leading poetry magazines.
Do not be misled by our name: Poetry London has the same relation to London as The New Yorker has to New York. In other words, it is a national and international magazine. We publish three times a year and feature poems and reviews from across the UK and Ireland, but also from the US, Canada and Australia and many in translation. Poetry London wants to attract the best poems by the best poets currently writing in English.
But an important editorial aim is also to foster emerging writers. On average a third of the poetry pages is given to poets who have yet to publish a first collection. We review pamphlets in the autumn issue and first collections in every issue, and we run an annual poetry competition.
Supported by Arts Council England, Poetry London is unique among major UK poetry magazines in that it is independent of any owner, poetry organisation or publishing house. It is run by an editorial team headed by Ahren Warner who, as Poetry Editor, is the most recent in a line of distinguished poet/editors including Pascale Petit, Maurice Riordan and Colette Bryce.

Through all its twists and turns, responding to social, technological and cultural change, PN Review has stayed the course. While writers of moment, poets and critics, essayists and memoirists, and of course readers, keep finding their way to the glass house, and people keep throwing stones, it will have a place.

It is edited by Patricia McCarthy, who co-edited the magazine with William Cookson for four years until his death in January 2003. She is continuing, as Seamus Heaney said, ‘to uphold the lofty standards of Agenda’.
"Agenda is one of the two literary periodicals in Britain. I admire it for its attentiveness to all kinds of contemporary poetry… and its consistent stress on the importance of poetry in translation from other languages." Thom Gunn
"Agenda, as the title insists, does several things that need to be done if literary culture is to stay in good shape. First of all, it stimulates and sponsors new poetry by poets whose writings and espousals have given the magazine its personality from the beginning. Agenda has a second important function which it discharges by doing work of critical advocacy for poets of marked or under-rated achievement, living and dead." Seamus Heaney

The Penniless Press website was created in 2006 and was, initially, an archive of material which had appeared in the PP print magazine since 1995.
Realising that websites are virtually unlimited in size we added whole novels, plays and short story and poetry collections which could never have been accommodated in the 100 A5 pages of the quarterly print version. The print magazine ceased publication in 2010 but the website continues and now contains far more new material than ever appeared in the print version.
The site also lists books for sale from Penniless Press Publications, comprising 22 paperbacks mostly, but not exclusively by former PP contributors.

Blackbox Manifold

Submit: www.manifold.group.shef.ac.uk/issue1/submissions.html
Blackbox Manifold is an online forum with a slant towards innovative poetry that has prose, narrative, or sequences in its sights. That said, we don’t hold allegiance to any one poetry school or group, and we’re happy to receive submissions from established and emerging poets alike. Our aim is to present new juxtapositions of voice while using the Web’s fluid solidity to cast around for as wide and varied a readership as possible.
On occasion, a current topic or event will be the focus for an issue—in bringing together poems that warp current woofs our hope is that some news, at least, may be broken. Voices that record by trembling are always welcome. But to ensure that we don’t settle into familiar patterns, guest editors will also occasionally be invited to take charge of an issue and solicit new work. Calling on a range of poets for editorial advice is fundamental to our own collaborative approach.

Soft Blow
www.softblow.org
T.S. Eliot once stated that "it must be the small and obscure papers and reviews, those which are hardly read by anyone but their own contributors, that will keep critical thought alive and encourage authors of individual talent." More than just another literary site featuring excellent work by such talents, SOFTBLOW also hopes to better focus the eye back on the poem. This journal does not pretend to exist for a general reading audience. It is for unswerving lovers of poetry who also appreciate how far poetry has come over time.
SOFTBLOW is ad free. We do not get paid for doing this. Poets will not be remunerated for having their works featured here. This journal is updated at the start of every month. All poets featured in the past are placed in our Archive.
Prose that defies categorising falls under poetry in our book and is more than welcome here at SOFTBLOW. To submit, simply paste 4-6 works with a short biography in the body of an email and send it to editor@softblow.org. Copyrights revert to the authors upon publication. All work published is with their expressed consent.

email submissions: no limit on poem length: themed issues: deadlines for each issue: best to follow on Facebook to learn of submission calls
Abridged aims to commission and publish contemporary/experimental poetry plus contemporary art freed from exhibition ties and especially commissioned for the magazine. We encourage poets/artists to investigate the articulation of ‘Abridged’ themes. For example our last few issues have been concerned with Time, Absence, Magnolia and Nostalgia. These themes focus on contemporary concerns in a rapidly changing society. We are offering an alternative and complete integration of poetry, art and design. We experiment continually. We also stray into the exhibition format producing contemporary, innovative and challenging work accompanied by a free publication.
We have a theme for each issue so it’s best to check this website, our facebook page ‘abridged zero-nineteen’ and the usual agencies such as the Poetry Ireland website and the Visual Artists Ireland email-shot and wait for the submission call before sending us material.
