What poetry magazines do yinz subscribe to? Which do you like to read? Where do you submit?

Basically, this thread is a general purpose forum for discussing various journals around today. Hopefully it will generate both good discussion and serve as a valuable repository of information. I know about a lot of the usual suspects, but I'm sure I'm ignorant of most of the places that might interest me (and be interested in me).

With Measure on its deathbed and the Raintown Review seemingly moribund as well, I currently subscribe only to Think (Light and Mezzo Cammin being on-line and free).

[Aaron Novick]

Thanks, Gail. I just submitted to Think today, as it happens. My second attempt to get in there. Hope I show up on your doorstep sometime soon.

I admit that I'm a bit uneasy about its objectivist origins, but as best as I can tell that's behind it now that it's associated with Western State Colorado U. Is that fair, based on your experience with it? Just a high quality outlet for formal poetry?

[Susan McLean]

Able Muse, Light, Mezzo Cammin, Snakeskin, and Lighten Up Online are well worth reading, and I subscribe or have subscribed to The Lyric, Blue Unicorn, The Raintown Review, and The Dark Horse. I used to subscribe to The Formalist, Light Quarterly, Measure, Iambs and Trochees, but those are dead, dying, or now online. If you like translations, check out Transference, Arion, and The Classical Outlook.

My job gets Poetry and American Poetry Review, so I read those regularly there. I subscribe to Rattle, Ploughshares, Kenyon Review, Boulevard, Able Muse, Tar River Poetry, Smartish Pace. I think that's all.

I've subscribed to Threepenny Review. I liked the poetry in it often, but there wasn't enough poetry in it.

I also subscribed to 32 Poems, and it's often filled with good stuff, I just fell off.

I want to subscribe to PN Review. It's expensive, though, since it's in the UK, but that's probably next for me.

[Aaron Novick]

Thanks Susan, Andrew.

Right now my only active subscription is to The Hudson Review, which I like a lot. Though often as much for the non-poetry as for the poetry. (I consistently like the stories they publish.)

Andrew, would you mind saying a bit more about the vibe of the various places you subscribe(d) to? Or at least those you like best?
