I’m pleased to be editing Magma 49 and invite you to submit poems on the theme ‘Build It Up and Knock It Down’ as well as poems on other subjects.
I want to read poems about construction and / or destruction, noisy with the cement mixer and the wrecking ball or quiet as the clicking of knitting needles. Send me your poems about bringing something new into the world – or taking it out again. Actual or metaphorical – show me what you make or what you destroy, and how and why.
Please send any queries about the theme to contributions@magmapoetry.com
The deadline is 31 October 2010. Please see the Contributions page for details of how to submit your poems.

Editor, Magma 49
Thanks for the invitation, Julia – I’m working on something slightly out of the ordinary which I may submit if I can get the poem to work.
Bon chance with what will prove to be a fascinating task, I’m sure.
will submit!
