Boundby Poetry Journal About Boundby was founded in 2022 at Warwick University, initially as a collective of poetry students with an aim to create an online zine to promote the writing of young and unpublished poets.Our team have now dispersed across Europe, working and studying in a range of fields, and as such our editorial purview has also broadened.We are a UK-based (and internationally-minded) online poetry magazine publishing the work of new and established poets.Boundby are concerned with what we as poets (and non-poets) are beholden to. We are interested in the inevitable, the by-design, and the poems of an ultra- contemporary moment which seemingly wriggle their way between the two.Above all, we want to read what you need to write.
