Our Mission Statement Magma is unique in that each issue has a different theme and different editors. The editorship circulates among the group that runs the magazine, with frequent guest editors. This allows us greater diversity of editorship, opportunities for mentoring new editors and publication of a very wide range of work. These themes aim to speak back to the world through the best in contemporary poetry, housing established poets alongside new or little-known names. We present poems which value experimentation, ambition, and craft. Alongside poetry we include reviews of current publications and thought-provoking prose. We are committed to being a part of a truly inclusive world of poetry and understand the power of language in helping to explore, study and question the realities we live in. Our aim is to present, through poetry, the many ways that we live and create today. Magma is published three times a year in spring, summer and winter. Views expressed are those of the authors, not necessarily of the Magma Board.
