Magma 48 is full of beautiful poems and deliberately not-so-beautiful poems. There are new poems by Eavan Boland, Polly Clark, Philip Gross, Jen Hadfield, Jacob Polley, Clare Pollard and Karen Solie and the usual cornucopia of Magma poets from well-known poets to two who are published for the first time, plus all five of the 2010 Gregory Award winners. And as for writing about poetry, the print edition has Eavan Boland, Karen Solie, Laurie Smith and ten well-known poets giving their favourite beautiful poem, not to mention reviews of twelve new collections. See below for a taste. It’s easy to order a copy from our website.
