Shwmae! Welcome to Poetry Wales: the Welsh home of international poetry.

We’re all about celebrating exceptional poetry and supporting the people who write it.

We believe that poetry is for everyone – from curious readers to award-winning laureates. Our magazine is published every spring, summer and winter, each one chock-full of original work from your favourite big-name poets rubbing elbows with new names for you to discover.

Amongst our pages you’ll also find thoughtful reviews of recent collections, exciting interviews, advice and insights from publishing professionals, longer form pieces by artists from around the world, translations from Cymraeg and other languages, and so much more.

Here on our website, you’ll find resources for writersopen access articlesinterviews, reflections and events. You can also check out our latest issue, browse our back catalogue, read up on the Poetry Wales Award, and find out how to submit your work.
