Published by The Poetry Society since 1912, it has been home to many of the most important and innovative names in poetry, with contributors ranging from Thomas Hardy and Basil Bunting, to Les Murray, Sharon Olds, Daljit Nagra, Durs Grünbein and Mary Ruefle. It is currently one of the most widely-read poetry magazines in the English-speaking world and has a growing international circulation.

Since becoming Editor in 2013, Maurice Riordan has enhanced the magazine’s reputation for excellence at the same time as he has made exciting changes. He set up an annual exchange with the US magazine Poetry and established a series of co-editorships to extend the Review’s range and to widen opportunities for writers and critics. He oversaw the first major redesign of the magazine in a decade and, recently, the launch of a digital version.

Maurice Riordan will soon complete his distinguished tenure as Editor and The Poetry Society is seeking to appoint his successor.
