The North A project of The Poetry Business (see other related projects). About It's intelligent and generous. If you're a lover of good poetry, The North is essential reading. As a small independent magazine we're in a fortunate position. We don't follow trends, foster political affinities or keep up appearances. We don't do lots of useful, necessary and boring things and we don't put up with middle-of-the-road ideas. The most important thing is the quality of the writing.
