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 Stanley Plumly, Danez Smith, Ellen June Wright, Kevin Young, J. Allyn Rosser, Kim Ok tr. by Ryan Choi, Nathanael Jones, Kathleen Rooney and more. Plus, a selection of curated poems ‘from China’s Dragon Rivers’ tr. by Wang Ping.
This is the July/August 2025 issue.
