"The Dark Horse" (issue 48)

It took a while coming but it was worth the wait - 182 big pages with essay-reviews about Michael Longley (by Edna Longley), a Hecht biography, Kathleen Raine, Edward Thomas (especially his reviews - 1,900 in 10 years), Heaney's letters, etc. The editor Gerry Cambridge reviews the layout and content of "Irish Pages" (the Scotland issue), "The Little Review" (I attended the launch), "Free Bloody Birds", and reports on the state of Scottish poetry in general, mentioning Freedom in the Arts (which I didn't know about). There's poetry by Sean O'Brien, Polly Clark, Robert Crawford, etc.

See The Dark Horse website for details.
