Poetry editor: 3am magazine

The editorial duties at 3am remain something I am lucky to have, proud I am to be associated with the magazine. That being said such a thing is always tempered by certain reality. 30 submissions a day on average. A chance to claw out some genuine brilliance from people from all over the world.

The poets below are those I have published since my editorial stint began at 3am in 2011, up until September 2016, when I made the submissions just for the POEM BRUT and DUOS series. It is a strong list. A list I am proud of. Open submissions are hard work but evidently worth the (extensive) effort. What better way to link up with brilliant poets from across the earth that I never would have known otherwise. And what a job those at 3am have done to make the magazine so respected, with such reach and power while still maintaining an intellectual but non pretentious aesthetic. Hard to do, harder to maintain: http://www.3ammagazine.com/3am/index/poetry/  (September 2016)
