Reach Poetry is now into its 21st year. Each issue perfectly represents the month in which it is released. Readers won't be disappointed by the December issue, packed full of wintery, festive poems with fairies and log-burners abound. This magazine also has the wonderful capability to create a sense of community amongst its subscribers who are spread across Europe by featuring comments from its many readers as they discuss their reactions to the magazine’s previous issue. 

The last issue of Modern Poetry in Translation in 2019 - entitled 'I Have Not Known a Grief Like This' - has a focus on extinction, and feels very timely at the end of a year in which anxieties about extinction in various forms have grown enormously. This issue is impressively edited to highlight the connection between language loss and biodiversity loss, and includes an illuminating discussion with poets from Poems from the Edge of Extinction, an anthology that emerged from the National Poetry Library's very own Endangered Poetry Project. Other highlights include poets such as Will Harris and Amy Key translating Iranian film into poetry, and the result of MPT's recent translation challenge, organised in collaboration with the Young Poets Network.
