Oxford Poetry

Together with my co-editors, Mary Jean Chan and Theophilus Kwek, I'm delighted to announce a new issue of Oxford Poetry. The latest number brings together poems and prose on the theme of Erasure from Jack Underwood, Bernard O'Donoghue, Melissa Lee-Houghton, Alison Brackenbury, Shukria Rezaei, Jennifer Wong and many others.

Tom Paulin described Oxford Poetry as "One of the best small magazines in the country" and it's certainly one of the oldest, having been established in 1910, when it was set up by undergraduates and published by Basil Blackwell. These days, while maintaining a connection with the university, it looks far wider: the stellar poets who have recently featured in its pages include Carol Ann Duffy, Seamus Heaney, George Szirtes and Les Murray.

Latest Magazine Cover Art

This spring I've been preparing cover art for two fine poetry magazines. An old favourite, Oxford Poetry (based - as you might expect - in the UK, and established in 1910) and the relatively youthful Sundog Lit (based in the US, and established as an online journal in 2012 - this is their very first print issue). Thanks to editors Lavinia Singer and Justin Daugherty for commissioning my work.
