Magma Poetry See other projects related to this listing. About Magma is a magazine of poetry and writing about poetry, published three times a year in Spring, Autumn and Winter, in full on paper and in selection on our website. It is distinct from other poetry magazines because each issue has a different editor. The editorship circulates among the small group which runs the magazine, with an occasional guest editor. The group is united by its commitment to the best in contemporary poetry, whether from new or little known poets or from the more established. We look for poems which give a direct sense of what it is to live today - honest about feelings, alert about world, sometimes funny, always well crafted.
