Founded by Harriet Monroe—editor, poet and patron of the arts—Poetry Magazine prides itself on publishing the best of contemporary poetry since 1912. It boasts the likes of T.S. Eliot, Sylvia Plath, Frank O’Hara, Langston Hughes, Marianne Moore and Rabindranath Tagore amongst the names it has championed over the past century. In its current iteration, designed in a slim format by renowned agency Pentagram, you’ll primarily find English-language poetry and some prose inside, though each issue also features a number of works in translation. Featuring Aase Berg, Dean Browne, Marianne Chan, Linda Hogan and more. Plus, a selection of curated poems by Black British poets including Nick Makoha, Elontra N. Hall, Fahad Al-Amoudi, Jason Allen-Paisant, Raymond Antrobus, Malika Booker, Courtney Conrad and others. This is the September 2025 issue. poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine
