[Ed Shacklee]

My apologies if this has been the subject of an earlier thread. I came across the Flea on this site and enjoyed it quite a bit. I've seen threads about submitting poems to magazines, but I wonder which magazines that appear in print are the ones folks here like to read the most (I'll save the Flea's online brothers and sisters as a topic for another thread, perhaps). I'd appreciate suggestions, as I've resolved to subscribe to more of them this year.

Say, for example, if you could subscribe to only 3-5 magazines, which ones would they be?

Best,

Ed

My five.

New Walk Magazine! We're new (i.e. it's not out yet) but try us! Visit www.tinyurl.com/newwalkmag for more information. Here are three other UK magazines I'd recommend:

PN Review
Stand
Smiths Knoll

[Toni Clark]

A strong second for Raintown, Measure, and Poetry (Though I often want to throw Poetry against the wall, it still seems essential, somehow.)

I also love Rattle, Margie, Field, and The New York Quarterly.

[Wintaka]

The Pedestal Magazine.

Thanks for the kind words about the Raintown. As for Rory's mention of the PN Review, I picked up the first six issues at the Strand a few days ago, back when it was Poetry Nation--and it was incredibly good in those days. Consistently high-level. It's not half-bad nowadays, either, but really, what an arrival on the scene!
