Description
Book SynopsisThe September-October 2023 issue. During 2023 PN Review is celebrating its jubilee. Since we started as Poetry Nation, a twice yearly hardback, in 1973, we've been publishing new poetry, rediscoveries, commentary, literary essays, interviews and reviews from around the globe. This issue includes celebrating the poetry of Taiwan and the National Museum of Taiwan Literature; Major translations from the poems of the leading German poet Joachim Sartorius, the prose of Alberto Manguel, and introducing the wildly implausible poems of Khan Gazi II Giray; Philip Terry asks 'What is Poetry' and provides provisional answers; Rory Waterman visits Robert Browning in Waco; and Jonathan Hirschfeld remembers Daniel Pearl in stone. Our vast archive now includes over 270 issues, with contributions from some of the most important writers of our times. Key contributors include Octavio Paz, Laura Riding, John Ashbery, Patricia Beer, W.S. Graham, Eavan Boland, Jorie Graham, Donald Davie, C.H. Sisson, Sinead Morrissey, Sasha Dugdale, Anthony Vahni Capildeo, and many others. We'll be celebrating throughout the year: look out for announcements of our events in the autumn, and subscribe to our free newsletter to get choice morsels of archive straight to your inbox.
