Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you to all of you who packed out the Troubadour last night and made the poetry reading for the launch of Magma 34 a great evening.

A special thank you to the poets who gave us such a varied and enjoyable programme of poetry, including our two guest poets Mimi Khalvati and David Harsent.

And thanks to everyone on the Magma committee for giving me the opportunity to edit Magma, and for all their help and encouragement during the editing process. At this point I can really appreciate the genius of the idea of a rotating editorship! I’m very relieved to hand on the baton to Tim Robertson, who is currently slaving over the draft of Magma 35, and to Anne-Marie Fyfe, our guest editor for Magma 36.

If you would like to see your poems in Magma, click here for details of how to submit them. The deadline for submissions for Magma 36 is the end of June. Anne-Marie invites poems on any subject and is particularly interested in poems on the following theme: “INSCAPES: poems of the inner self, of secret thoughts, streams of consciousness, interior monologues, altered states of mind…”.
