What Writers and Critics Think

  • Excellent

    Carol Ann Duffy (the Guardian)
  • Apart from the general excellence of the enterprise, it's always impressive to see how broad your church is, how impeccable you are in your taste and how fair in your judgement. Rare qualities.

from the Editorial 

“…We try not to publish the same poets in consecutive numbers, though aficionados will recognise some of the same names across issues, especially in among the features and reviews. We depend on the writers who believe in The North and share our values and who can turn in copy that is warm and lively as well as insightful and informative, introducing us to new writers or shining a light on ones that have fallen from view. Which is why alongside the wide-ranging reviews, we have so many features – including a new one on ‘Recent Reading’. Poetry collections stay recent for ages don’t they, bought with enthusiasm but often not quite got round to. That latest out- ing from Alfred Lord Tennyson, for instance, I don’t think I’ve even opened it. Also, we have not one but two ‘Featured Titles’ now in each issue, a pamphlet and a book, that even The North’s clued-up readers might otherwise miss and which we think you will enjoy. In this issue too a particularly (sparing her blushes) illuminating ‘Poets I Go Back To’ by Ramona Herdman – one which will take some readers back to their Larkins re-enthused…”
