About

FIRE is a poetry magazine with a big reputation and represents big value for money. It appears twice a year (March, October) and each issue contains 170 pages of poetry (mostly) and some prose. It is radical, multicultural and international in outlook, and publishes a broad range of poetry from around the world. It tends towards the more alternative end of the poetry spectrum, and is interested in poetry with heart, spirit, imagination, innovation, risk-taking, open-endedness, and most of all poems that have something to say. Not neat, tight, closed, clever, cynical, fashionable poems. FIRE exists to promote unknown, little-known, new or unpublished writers and to include features on young writers and poems by children.
