I like this opening salvo - or credo - and look forward to what follows.
(Not sure exactly what a 'poetry audience' would be. I assume it means the
articles won't be addressed to any particular clique or claque or club. But
readers of poetry would surely overlap with "readers seriously interested in
contemporary issues, philosophical, political, and cultural"? Or at least
you'd hope so.)

Subject: Fortnightly
Some of this company might like to note that I'm now the "poetry
editor" of The Fortnightly Review, which is a website publishing
articles on a variety of cultural matters, specially interested in
exploring corners and transgressing options, named with reference to
Trollope's Fortnightly Review of 1865. In this capacity I shall be
contributing an article each month, which will normally be about newly
published poetry or poetry events in UK. But the first, now up, is a
kind of creed. The site is free; there is a £10 subscription but
that's for those who want to support it.
Also on the site is an article on Nicholas Moore's "pomenvylopes" by
Martin Sorrel, and several items on Vorticism, Pound/Eliot and so
forth, including a reissue of Pound's essay "Vorticism" from the old
Fortnightly.
My articles are not and will not be be addressed to a poetry audience,
but to readers seriously interested in contemporary issues,
philosophical, political, and cultural.
