 Good, but... September 6, 2003

POETRY is fantastic, and I've always loved it, and I'd never say a word against it. No, no. But if somebody left me a hundred million dollars, I'd get just a wee bit jazzier. I mean, for god's sakes. I understand staying true to your origins, but you can at least get some pictures or something. For a hundred million, you could print issues on babylonian scrolls. You could have every page play music to accompany the poems. Where are the holograms? Where's the perfumed fold-out centerpieces? Where's the frontispiece of fine Indian silk? For crying out loud, who made these poets so damned austere? I thought you people were hedonists and sybarites. I expected you people to blow half this hundred mil right away, re-enacting the Iliad or something. But noooo.... You have to be sensible, just like everybody else in the world today. Forget you, Poetry. Take care of your 401Ks and your KEOUGHs and your TIAA-CREFs. You're just like the rest of them, you sell-outs. You mutual-fund buying push-overs. I'm heartbroken. I thought you poets were the last vestige of impracticality in America; but you've shown yourselves to be real solid folk. Wouldn't your fathers be proud. Isn't Berryman smiling in his grave? Or Walt Whitman. Or John Ashberry. (Is he dead yet?) Forget it, Poetry. You've let me down. I expected opulence; I expected a party that only poets could throw. I expected a celebration of life worth at least 30-40 mil. I give up. Nevermind. I still enjoyed the issue, however. Fine work. Keep it up.
The Best English-Language Poetry Magazine in the World. May 7, 2004

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.
Good Poetry, Plenty of Variety March 5, 2004

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.

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.

this mag totally bores me. i mean, i like lyric poetry somewhat but when will POETRY start representing concrete and spatial poetics every now and then?
