Join us to celebrate the poetry magazine The Wolf’s 15th anniversary – in Longyearbyen, Svalbard.
To mark the 15th anniversary in Longyearbyen, poet Ashur Etwebi and James Byrne, editor of The Wolf, will read a selection of highlights from the 15 year-history of the poetry publication The Wolf.
The Wolf magazine was founded in April 2002 by the poets James Byrne and Nicholas Cobic with a clear emphasis on publishing emerging new poets alongside more established writers. It is now published three times a year and edited by James Byrne.
The formative years of The Wolf quickly established the magazine as a leading independent poetry magazine in the UK. As Bloodaxe editor Neil Astley remarked during a lecture for Stanza: “The next [poetry magazine] to watch will be The Wolf, which has a young editorial team who aren’t afraid to ruffle a few feathers.”
Since 2002, over 350 poets – from all of the world’s continents – have been published in The Wolf.
The Wolf publishes international translations, critical prose and interviews with leading contemporary poets, which are frequently cited as being the defining characteristics of the magazine.
Soup will be served!
