Magazines...

For UK Magazines I now always check The Poetry Kit website (then click the
button that says Magazines). It's a canny long list of UK magazines with
comments that are helpful...
And another one I've just discovered is www.firstwriter.com which has a
similar list.
I don't know if such web-based lists are available for sites in Australia
or
the US (are they, Frank or Sue?) because I've found these a more up to date
than the back copies of any magazines I, or friends, may have.
I once saw a copy of the Poet's Market book (in Waterstones, Manchester,
years ago. It's awesome, expensive, and so heavy I didn't want to lug it
around while doing the rest of my shopping, so it stayed there! Web lists,
tho, are (almost) free...
Bob
