Founded in 1965, Poetry Wales is the national poetry magazine of Wales. Wales’ foremost poetry magazine, Poetry Wales publishes internationally respected contemporary poetry, features and reviews in its triannual print and digital magazine in its mission to sustain and preserve the artistic works both inspiring our literary present and shaping our literary future.

Its interests in translation, and in local and national identities in a global context, are at the forefront of some of the most exciting developments in poetry today.

The magazine is open to tradition and experiment, publishing poetry from a wide range of approaches. Against this background of dynamic contrast, it offers a lively and informed critical context for the finest contemporary poetry.

As well as publishing three volumes a year, we also host an annual single-poem competition, the Poetry Wales Award.
