Angelic Dynamo
How would you like to decide what poems are printed in your favorite poetry journal? That’s the twist at
Angelic Dynamo, a printed poetry journal project. The magazine is sponsored by the University of Warwick in the UK and printed with the support of the Oxford University Conted Department and the Universeity of East Anglia Conted Department. It publishes works submitted by published and unpublished poets - but here’s the twist. The editors sift through their submissions and post a shortlist online at their website - and readers vote on which ones should be included in the journal. They call it “Poetry and Democracy”. I call it a fun idea.
The winning poems from the first four issues - the latest one is Issue 4 - March 2009 - are posted on the web site. In addition, there are three poems in the running to be considered for the next issue. They’re also accepting submissions, so do check it out!
