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 Pentagram, you’ll primarily find English-language poetry and some prose inside, though each issue also features a number of works in translation. Featuring work by a host of writers including Taylor Johnson, Sharon Olds, CM Burroughs, and more. Plus, flick to the back to discover a series of written and visual works by New York-based poet and performance artist Julie Ezelle Patton.
