Interviews
with Poetry Editors on the Future of Poetry Publishing
In light of the discussion surrounding the New Statesman article by Neil
Astley, 'Give
Poetry Back to People', and
the vigorous reactions that my blog
entry
concerning it provoked at The Poem forum
I
thought it would be interesting to discuss some of the wider implications that Astley’s concerns in the article suggest, and how these relate to such matters
as: poetry and publishing, and the future of poetry in
printed form and on the Internet. To do this, I have gathered responses from the following editors
to a set of questions regarding these issues. One of the following editors, Douglas Messerli,
has written a formal response which can be read here.
