That’s good to hear, Bob. I hoped to inspire people to think in different and perhaps less obvious ways about the theme.

I’m new to Magma magazine, and more than anything I enjoy its idea of having a theme to base contributions around. I’m a little off being a published poet yet, but it does focus the mind on a subject, and it is surprising what gets written. I aim to write six poems on the subject, and even if (well when) unsusucessful, I have 6 new poems I wouldn’t have written before. I have my six for this month, but reading the introduction above, I am beginning to think of ways I could put a new slant on the subject.

Hunger is a great kick-off point to issue 46.
When is the deadline for sending poems to be included in this issue?

Hi Suzanne,

Themes are chosen by the editors, as far as I know we haven’t used reader suggested themes so far. But I know many of our editors read the blog and comments, so they may glean some inspiration here… Thanks for your suggestion.

Has a theme for the next issue of Magma (47) been set yet and can anyone suggest a theme?

I think ‘Religion’ would be a good one if it hasn’t already been used.

Janette from Creative Momentum

Thanks for offering to put a link on your site. Happy for you to put something up there, as long as it’s not my text in its entirety and just a brief extract.

Thanks

Jacqueline

Robin – just in reply to your query, it’s fine to send poems to as many issues as you like, especially as a we have a rotating editorship and your work will be read by different people.

Best
