Poetry Magazines - The best collection of poetry magazines online - Simon Armitage

Welcome to Neon Highway, Issue 10 which will be followed by two more issues this year. I look forward to Steve Sneyd and A.C Evans being interviewed by Jane Marsh for the remaining part of this year.

In 2006 Neon Highway will be commissioning work, focusing on experimental, pulp, esoteric prose and poetry in 2006. Interviews by Jane Marsh will continue. Neon Highway will no longer be accepting unsolicited work but instead commissioning writers. This will take the form of one issue a year. New subscription details and month to be released have yet to be announced. Updates will be announced on my website www.neonhighway.co.uk or you can email me on poetshideout@yahoo.com nearer the time

I would like to thank all poets who have contributed their work to previous issues and for the remaining forthcoming issues this year and for also helping Neon Highway to establish itself. I hope that you will all continue to subscribe and support the magazine in 2006.

I am also happy to mention that the Neon Highway poetry readings became part of the first Liverpool poetry festival this year on 10th April. The readings have been going for two years in the city and finally we landed ourselves a well-deserved place in the Liverpool Poetry festival with Allen fisher being mentioned along with Roger McGough and Brian Patten who took part in the event. Allen Fisher was guest poet at the Walker art gallery as the first event in the programme, supported by the Culture Company, creating a further step towards diversifying and expanding the local poetry scene.

In this issue, I would like to thank Bill Griffiths for his interview with Jane Marsh on page 27 and for his poems and short story. Thank you also to Kate Eggleston-Wirtz for her drawings throughout this issue.
