Founded in 1965, Poetry Wales is a quarterly magazine with an international outlook and a longstanding reputation for excellent poetry, critical features and reviews.

The magazine presents new poetry from around the world and, of course, from Wales. Recent issues have featured poetry in translation from Poland, Slovakia, Argentina, Hungary, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Quebec, Galicia and Wales. Launches in the USA, Canada, and across Europe have strengthened links with a range of international poetry publications and communities of writers. At the same time, Poetry Wales remains committed to exploring the diverse perspectives of Welsh poetry in English from the past and present. Its interests in translation, and in exploring the meaning of local and national identities in a global context, are at the forefront of some of the most exciting developments in poetry today.

Poetry Wales emerges from a rich cultural background in which poetry in English exists alongside poetry in Welsh; it therefore welcomes a conversation that sees English-language poetry as part of wider relationships, both within Wales and beyond it. It is open to the possibilities offered by various forms of tradition and experiment, and publishes poetry from a broad range of approaches. Against this background of dynamic contrast, it offers an informed critical context for new poetry.

Represented here online are three landmark issues from Poetry Wales' forty year history.
