THE SEVENTH QUARRY Swansea Poetry magazine

THE SEVENTH QUARRY Swansea Poetry Magazine aims to publish quality poems from around the world. Poets from the U.K., America, Russia, Japan, China, Argentina, Canada, Israel, South Africa, Greece, France, Sicily, Catalonia, Spain, Czech Republic, Serbia, and Romania have already appeared in its pages. New Yorks Vince Clemente, as the magazines Consultant Editor: America, ensures a steady stream of American poets.

Each issue features a Poet Profile, a batch of pages given over to a chosen poet. The policy is to try to alternate between a British poet and a non-British poet. There is also a Books and Magazines page, which provides details and brief comments on received publications.

The magazine has recently become a cooperating partner with Cross-Cultural Communications Publishers, New York. The partnership has already contributed to the magazine being displayed at several prestigious literary events in America and the publication in QUARRY of work by the late, Pulitzer prize-winner Stanley Kunitz.

The magazine has also been contracted to The Poetry Librarys (Royal Festival Hall, London) prestigious digitisation project, which will ensure copies of the magazine are featured on its very popular website: regarded by many as the best source for poetry in the U.K. QUARRY was featured in THE GUARDIAN, one of Britains leading daily newspapers, in April 2006. It was awarded SECOND BEST SMALL PRESS MAGAZINE IN THE U.K. 2006 by PURPLE PATCH (U.K.).
The editor also organises THE SEVENTH QUARRY PRESENTS poetry evenings. The first, at the Dylan Thomas Centre in Swansea, featured a visit by American poet Stanley H. Barkan.

The magazine is now 64 pages and appears twice a year, in January and July. It costs 3.50 per issue or 7 for a years subscription (two copies). $10 and $20 for USA subscribers. Further information at www.peterthabitjones.com
