South 46 arrives with at least its usual quota of highlights plus the discussion points and reviews necessarily succinct so that as many poems as possible can be included in its customary smart format.
Regular contributor D.A. Prince impresses most on this occasion with A-Z, a short but beautifully made poem that rewarded repeated readings with its careful music.
Carolyn King is the featured poet, introduced by Stewart Conn, with a generous selection of spirited poems.
Lisa Kelly's mirror poem, Hangover, provides not quite the immaculate mirror image of a Julia Copus example of the form but certainly a lesson in cause and effect while I also liked Dorothy Pope's Music in the Church among a number of other poems that were enjoyable on their own terms.
The magazine is going through a balmy period of successful issues that may well continue. At six pounds (plus another pound by post), it might not seem good value but you don't get much for a fiver these days and although you get more for your money from PNR in terms of reviews and highbrow articles, the number of poems I am pleased to have read in an issue of either of them is usually about the same.
