5.0 out of 5 stars The Best English-Language Poetry Magazine in the World., May 7, 2004

By	G. Stateson (Grand Prairie, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Poetry magazine out of Chicago has been around since stew was invented. (When mankind first crawled up out of the swamp and discovered fire, what they had for dinner that night was stew). Well, ok, they're 75 years old and counting. You don't hang around that long unless you're the best. I first discovered them in a college library - many, many years worth of copies - it was a treasure trove of the 1st magnitude. There's invariably one or more poems (if not the majority)in each issue that'll make you glad you subscribed. No, they're not big on pictures (none but the cover - and I remember one year when it was a drawing that didn't change for the whole year...urg) - but it IS the best Poetry Magazine you will ever find.

5.0 out of 5 stars Founded in 1912, December 18, 2005

By	A. Remington "nameyou'vechosenalreadytaken" (Land of The Shining Corn) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Poetry Magazine from Chicago has been a fixture in the realm of American literature. It's the THE best and the least trendy, slick, topical publication on the market. There are works in all forms in all concerns and modes of expression plus terrific reviews as well as thought provoking essays. For the best deal on subscriptions, try to hold back until holiday time when they offer reduced prices through their website. If you love good literature treat yourself to these higher standards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Poetry, Plenty of Variety, March 4, 2004

By	Donna G. Grayson "Donna G. Grayson" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I like Poetry Magazine mainly because there is a variety of different poets and styles. There is always something different. This magazine has been around for awhile, and from what I have read in the newspaper about the huge amount of money they just received they are being careful and are making sure they make the right decisions. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for them.
I certainly hope they don't change the size or shape of the publication. It is the perfect size to carry in your purse just in case you want something to read as you wait in line or run your errands. I like the style of the magazine, it suits the topic.
