Synopsis "PN Review 275 (in English)"
The January-February 2024 issue. Since we started as Poetry Nation, a twice yearly hardback, in 1973, we've been publishing new poetry, rediscoveries, commentary, literary essays, interviews and reviews from around the globe. This issue includes dark essays on Eastern Europe in 1939, on sentimental ecology, the culture wars, and Byron through selected letters; discovering the radical American poet Steve Malmude with Miles Champion; overhearing the Mexican poet Darí o Jaramillo in conversation with God (Richard Gwyn's translations); and new poems by the Pulitzer laureate Carl Phillips. Our vast archive now includes over 270 issues, with contributions from some of the most important writers of our times. Key contributors include Octavio Paz, Laura Riding, John Ashbery, Patricia Beer, W.S. Graham, Eavan Boland, Jorie Graham, Donald Davie, C.H. Sisson, Sinead Morrissey, Sasha Dugdale, Anthony Vahni Capildeo, and many others.
