For most consistently interesting formalist poetry magazines, I would go with Measure and The Raintown Review. Formalist, but not consistently good, are Light Quarterly and The Lyric. For journals that are not mainly poetry, but often contain good formal poems, try The Hudson Review, The Dark Horse, The New Criterion, First Things, and The Evansville Review. Poetry has an occasional formal poem, but I tend to find the journal more annoying than interesting. I look at it online rather than subscribing to it. I subscribe to the top four (plus Blue Unicorn, which is formal friendly, but mainly free verse). The rest I tend to look at in the library.
