Magma poetry magazine launch nights continue to be among the venue’s best-supported & sparkiest gatherings with their energetically eclectic mix of demotic, democratic & diversely dazzling poetries, their constantly-challenging chosen themes & regularly rotating issue-editorship. Contributors, current focus & next edition’s theme are all introduced as ever by Magma team-leader David Boll & there’s an opportunity to catch up on the latest—& previous—issue(s), subscribe, meet the Magma team, listen to & meet Issue#39 editor, David Morphet, & his band of contributing poets including special guests: 2003 Gregory-winner Anna Woodford (pamphlet The Higgins’ Honeymoon, Driftwood, 2001) who lives in Newcastle; & Budapest-born George Szirtes—whose 13 books of poems include T.S.Eliot-winner Reel (Bloodaxe, 2004).
