Poetry News 
Poetry News is the Poetry Society's quarterly newspaper. Members are invited to send in poems on a particular theme each quarter, and six of the best are included on a regular, dedicated members' page. There is also a 'close-up' on the nuts and bolts of poetic craft; a 'q & a' on the route to a first collection; interviews with rising stars; profiles of poetry publishers and magazines; features on poetry overseas; and news of prize-winners. Plus there are of course details of current activities at the Poetry Society. Each year the Hamish Canham Poetry Prize awards £300 to the best members' poem to appear in its pages.
Poetry News is published in April, June, September and December.
A selection of articles and a contents list for each issue from 2001 onwards are available on this site (see menu bar to the left).
"As a new member I would like to say Poetry News is very informative and the poems are a joy to read."
