Since we began the ‘broadsheet’ Poetry
Scotlandin October 1997 it has raced away with its editor’s
time and its contributors’ postage stamps. It has clearly filled a niche
in the market, as it has expanded in size and scope. Many people buy it
who are poetry readers, rather than poets, and for this reason we have kept
it to poetry only, apart from the briefest of ‘blurbs’ here and there.
However, the need for the other side
of a poetry magazine - the meeting place for poets, the correspondence,
gossip, discussion, news and fun
- has become the more pressing as our scope has expanded. So here is the
rest of Poetry Scotland - the PS website.
Poetry Scotland has received financial
assistance from the Scottish
Arts Council from Issue 7 (April 1999) to date.
If you’ve just discovered us on the web,
you can get the paper part of our magazine for a mere £5 sterling a year
post free anywhere in the UK.
This site gives more information about Poetry Scotland
(the Webitorial), plus a complete Index
to the contents, a Language/ Dialect Map, Contributor
information (Poets' Portraits), and information on how to subscribe, and
how to submit.
Our Newsboard contains
(quelle surprise!) News, but also letters and a seasonal
poem, and in other places on the site you can get advice
on how to write and submit to magazines, our PS Competitions,
and a page about your Editor, Sally Evans.
Other pages of Links and Listings
follow, and finally the diehard books page gives
up-to-the minute information about the diehard list.
Feedback to Poetry Scotland is always
welcome - write, email or despatch pigeons to Callander.
If you have any comments on the site
itself you can send them to our Webmaster
(Colin Will). We're keen to develop it further, and your suggestions will
be carefully considered.
