ALT Poetry Wales Winter 2024 | 60.2 Innovative Poetry Out November 2024 | Edited by Zoë Brigley Contributing Editors Kandace Siobhan Walker & Zakia Carpenter-Hall As usual, Poetry Wales is open to all poems on all themes, but 60.2 will be slanted towards innovative forms and imagined realities. We are especially interested in submissions of innovative poetry (in form, content or a combination of both), as well as innovative essays and reviews. In terms of form, we are looking for newly invented shapes for poems; forms not typically used for poetry like essays, multiple choice and Mad Lib; experimental poems that borrow writing conventions from other “genres” like recipes; video games or science communication; as well as recently invented poetic formulas such as golden shovels and duplexes. In terms of content, we seek poems that depict fantastic, otherworldly, surreal, speculative worlds or aspects of the real world which include flights of fancy. We will enjoy poems in which the ima

ALT Poetry Wales Spring 2025 | 60.3 New Welsh Poets Out March 2025 | Edited by Zoë Brigley Poetry Wales 60.3 will be our 60th anniversary issue. For this issue, we are seeking poems of 45 lines* or shorter by new Welsh poets. By ‘new’ poets, we mean writers who may be completely unpublished, or may have published some work in journals and anthologies or have chapbooks, but have not published more than one full collection. By ‘Welsh’, we mean poets who were born in, schooled, are resident in or have lived a significant part of their life in Wales. Poets writing in Cymraeg and English are welcome to submit. Poems written in Cymraeg do not have to be accompanied by an English translation but if they are, both the poem and translation will need to be a maximum of 45 lines (e.g. a poem of 22 lines and a translation of 22 lines). The poem and translation will need to fit on one magazine page. *45 lines inclusive of spaces and lines between stanzas

ALT Poetry Wales Gwanwyn 2025 | 60.3 Beirdd Cymreig Newydd Allan Mawrth 2025 | Golygwyd gan Zoë Brigley Ar gyfer ein rhifyn pen-blwydd yn 60 oed, rydym yn chwilio am gerddi 45* llinell o hyd neu lai gan feirdd Cymreig newydd. Wrth feirdd ‘newydd’, rydym yn golygu awduron sydd efallai’n gwbl anghyhoeddedig, neu sydd efallai wedi cyhoeddi rhywfaint o waith mewn cyfnodolion a blodeugerddi neu sydd â phamffledi, ond heb gyhoeddi mwy nag un casgliad llawn. Wrth ‘Gymreig’, rydym yn golygu beirdd a gafodd eu geni, eu haddysgu, sy’n byw yng Nghymru neu sydd wedi byw rhan sylweddol o’u bywyd yng Nghymru. Mae croeso i feirdd sy’n ysgrifennu yn y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg gyflwyno’u cerddi. Nid oes rhaid i gerddi a ysgrifennwyd yn y Gymraeg ddod gyda chyfieithiad Saesneg ond os ydynt, bydd angen i’r gerdd a’r cyfieithiad fod yn uchafswm o 45 llinell (e.e. cerdd 22 llinell a chyfieithiad o 22 llinell). Bydd angen i’r gerdd a’r cyfieithiad ffitio ar un dudalen gylchgrawn. *45 llinell yn cynnwys bylcha
