The November-December 2023 issue

During 2023 PN Review is celebrating its jubilee. Since we started as Poetry Nation, a twice yearly hardback, in 1973, we've been publishing new poetry, rediscoveries, commentary, literary essays, interviews and reviews from around the globe.

This issue includes the rediscovery of the poetry of V.R. ‘Bunny’ Lang, close friend of Frank O’Hara, key figure in the New York School, with an introduction by Rosa Campbell; Sinéad Morrissey celebrates Ciaran Carson; Miles Burrows’s Postcard from Taiwan; A Song Atlas feature in the Reports pages: John Gallas translations of short lyrics from the corners of the earth and the whole span of poetic history; Anthony Vahni Capildeo on Fire & Darkness; new poems by Jane Yeh; and James Campbell on being spied upon.

Our vast archive now includes over 270 issues, with contributions from some of the most important writers of our times. Key contributors include Octavio Paz, Laura Riding, John Ashbery, Patricia Beer, W.S. Graham, Eavan Boland, Jorie Graham, Donald Davie, C.H. Sisson, Sinead Morrissey, Sasha Dugdale, Anthony Vahni Capildeo, and many others.

We'll be celebrating throughout the year: subscribe to our free newsletter to get choice morsels of archive straight to your inbox.

Praise for John McAuliffe 'A very fulsome, variously enticing and accomplished slice of the poetic milieu.'

Clark Allison, Tears in the Fence

'A selection of poets which has benefitted from the different eyes of the anthology editors Michael Schmidt and John McAuliffe, and all of whom, if we didn't know before, we will know when they make their own indelible mark on poetry in the years to come.'

Andrew McMillan, The Poetry Book Society Spring Bulletin

Praise for Michael Schmidt 'Its pleasures are longer term ones: as you return to it and re-read its substantial selections, you come to appreciate how and what each contributor is working on.'

Jane Routh, The North 66

'...this is the joy of New Poetries VIII: time and again you discover refreshing and compelling new styles and subjects'

Jake Morris-Campbell, The Poetry School

'...probably the most informative and entertaining poetry journal in the English-speaking world.'
John Ashbery 'The most engaged, challenging and serious-minded of all the UK's poetry magazines.'
Simon Armitage 'It has attempted to take poetry out of the backwaters of intellectual life and to find in it again the crucial index of cultural health.'
Cairns Craig, Times Literary Supplement
