Pennine Platform

About

Pennine Platform is a 60-page poetry magazine, published in April and November. It is one of the longest surviving little magazines in the UK, having started publication in 1973. Though with local roots, it has an international reach and among its subscribers are Harvard and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
It has a loyal readership not only from the Pennine region of northern England but with contributors and subscribers worldwide. Its pages represent a much broader cultural mix than the title Pennine Platform might suggest.

Important: Email submissions are only accepted from overseas.
