The past three months have been a very difficult time. In mid-October we had to say goodbye to Tinkerbell, our beloved family member and editorial assistant. In the meantime, however, we have managed to proceed with various publication projects. In mid-November we published Ricarda Huch's last collection of poetry, Autumn Fire, translated by Timothy Adès with an introduction by Karen Leeder. Two pamphlets, Siegfried Baber's The Twice-Turned Earth and the revised second edition of Ben Morgan's Medea in Corinth, are with our printers and we expect copies to arrive in mid-January. During the holiday season we will advance further projects. We still have a huge backlog of manuscripts and hope to study and evaluate them. However, we can only publish pamphlets and collections, if our readers are also prepared to support us and buy copies from our backlist.


The Poetry Salzburg Review team - John Challis, Hilary Davies, Lisa Fishman, Wolfgang Görtschacher, Martin Malone, and Lisa Samuels - wants to thank all our poets, readers, and supporters. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Enjoy the time with your family and friends!

Help us continue our ambitious programme in 2025!


As a result of our latest postings in the context of exploding production and postage costs, we have received some correspondence if we accept donations. Yes, we would be very grateful for donations. Just to give you an idea: to post a complimentary copy of our magazine to a US contributor costs €17.50. Neither our small press Poetry Salzburg nor the magazine Poetry Salzburg Review receives any public funding.

If you can make a donation - please use our email address editor@poetrysalzburg.com and pay it into our Paypal account - , it will help us ensure our very ambitious programme for 2025. We not only intend to publish two issues of our magazine Poetry Salzburg Review, but also four books and four pamphlets.

2024/11/22
We have almost finished our work on the second revised edition of Ben Morgan's very successful pamphlet Medea in Corinth, which has been out of print for quite some time. Pre-publication orders are already possible. It will be published in early 2025. All our readers who have already bought a copy and have agreed to wait for the publication of the second revised edition will be the first to receive their copies.

The copies of Ricarda Huch's collection Autumn Fire have just arrived. It is the first time that Huch's last poetry collection is available in English translation. Huch was nominated seven times - in 1928, 1935, 1937, and 1946 - for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Especially in 1937 Huch should have received the Nobel Prize. The nomination by Fritz Strich, Professor of German literature, literature historian, University of Bern, Switzerland, was supported by 27 professors from the universities of Bern, Basel, Geneva and Zurich in Switzerland, and Groningen, NL. In the same year she also received nominations by Heinrich Wölfflin, Art historian and a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences, and Knut Hjalmar Leonard Hammarskjöld, a lawyer, politician, and member of the Swedish Academy.

In 3-4 hours we have to say goodbye to our editorial assistant Tinkerbell and put her on the longest journey. We are very grateful that she has spent such a long time with us, thank you Tinkerbell for all your love, empathy and support. We are very sad and in tears. We will always love you and miss you.

By now every contributor and subscriber should have received their copy of our new issue Poetry Salzburg Review 41 (Summer 2024). Thanks to Martin Malone all the UK copies could be posted much earlier than expected. They were sent in a big box to his new home in Ireland and he went across the border to post them from Northern Ireland. Still the costs for postage and printing have reached unexpected dimensions. Nonetheless we are probably the only magazine that has not increased the sub price since the pandemic. This may have to change in the future. Although there is an increasing number of institutions that appreciate the quality of our magazine and take out subscriptions - most recently the National Library of Scotland - many readers and poets have not renewed their subs. Others appreciate publication in our magazine but have not yet been persuaded to support us. If you do not want to take out a subscription because there are already too many books sitting on your shelves, you can also make a donation and pay it into our Paypal account by using the email address editor@poetrysalzburg.com.

Having just returned from the magnificent Aphra Behn Conference in Canterbury where I gave a paper and chaired a session, I will shortly start to read the many manuscripts that have been submitted in the past 16 months when I have been unable to deal with them due to too many academic commitments. I have already started to work on the projects that have been accepted, Timothy Adès's translation of Ricarda Huch's last poetry collection and a pamphlet by Michael Spinks entitled Past Loves.

It is a great pleasure to announce the publication of Gardenstown (Broken Sleep Books) by Martin Malone and Bryan Angus.

2023/12/23 During the Christmas holidays it is always a good idea to remember friends and colleagues who have influenced your life. Robert Dassanowsky, the longest serving member of our editorial board, died on 10 October 2023 at the age of 58. He was an Austrian-American academic, writer, film and cultural historian, and producer. He was named CU Distinguished Professor of Film and Austrian Studies by the University of Colorado System in November 2020. He was professor of German and Visual and Performing Arts, and founding director of film studies at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs since 1993. Poetry Salzburg published his collection Telegrams from the Metropole: Selected Poems 1980-1998 in 1999 and his pamphlet Soft Mayhem in November 2010 (both still in print).


The Poetry Salzburg Review team - John Challis, Hilary Davies, Lisa Fishman, Wolfgang Görtschacher, Martin Malone, Lisa Samuels, and our Editorial Assistant Tinker Bell - wants to thank all our poets, readers, and supporters and hopes that you have enjoyed the current issue No. 40. If you have forgotten to renew your subscription, now you have plenty of time to do so during the festival season. The same applies if you want to take out a sub. Under the current difficult circumstances we need your support. We are among the few magazines that have not increased the sub price despite rising production costs. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Enjoy the time with your family and friends!

The copies of our new issue Poetry Salzburg Review 40 (Summer 2023) have just arrived. Tomorrow we will start to post the first copies. Please renew or take out a subscription in order to ensure that you will receive your copy of a fascinating new issue. Click here to take out a subscription.

Copies usually sell fairly quickly; of the 15 most recent issues 11 sold out and are out of print. Prices for paper, energy and postage/transportation have gone up considerably - by 25-30% - since we published the previous issue which is why the support of our readers is particularly important. Despite these circumstances we have not increased the sub rates, which is in contrast to international developments. We believe that as many people as possible should be able to afford a sub.

2023/02/17
Pre-publication orders for Emily Oldfield's pamphlet Calder are already possible. Copies will be available on 15 March 2023.

2023/01/24 Many subscribers have told us that they have to cut back and cannot renew their subscriptions. Under the current economic crisis worldwide this is quite understandable. However, please support Poetry Salzburg Review - a magazine that is not supported by any grants and financed from my own pocket - so that we do not have to cut back too. If you have not yet done so, renew your subscription or take one out, a subscription is also an exceptional present.
All of our books and pamphlets - with one or two exceptions - are still in print. You can also support the magazine and the small press Poetry Salzburg by buying some of our books and pamphlets.
Some of our friends and readers have asked me if it is also possible to make donations. Everyone can make a donation via Paypal by using our email address editor@poetrysalzburg.com. However, it is also possible to send us a Sterling cheque made out to "Wolfgang Görtschacher".

2022/12/22 During the Christmas holidays it is always a good idea to remember friends and colleagues who have influenced your life. D.M. de Silva, who died on 28 March 2022, was an empathetic friend and mentor. His generosity and the excellent quality of his translations and critiques of new publications are unsurpassed. During the holidays I will start to edit either a pamphlet or a collection of Derek's original poetry and his translations.


On behalf of the Poetry Salzburg Review team - John Challis, Robert Dassanowsky, Hilary Davies, Lisa Fishman, Wolfgang Görtschacher, Martin Malone, Lisa Samuels - our Editorial Assistant Tinker Bell wants to thank all our poets, readers, and supporters and hopes that you can enjoy the new issue No. 39 over the holidays.

Our dear friend, colleague, contributor, and supporter of Poetry Salzburg Review and Poetry Salzburg, Derek de Silva died on 28 March 2022 in Salzburg. He did not want us to publish anything earlier about his passing. His bio/bibliographical note is representative of some of his personal qualities:

"D.M. de Silva translates German poetry and produces original verse as well as critical prose. He has published specimens of his work in all three areas in a number of issues of The Poet's Voice and Poetry Salzburg Review, including a translation of Stefan George's Year of the Soul."

His generosity and the excellent quality of his translations and critiques of new publications are unsurpassed. During the summer vacation I will edit either a pamphlet or a collection of Derek's original poetry and his translations. The forthcoming issue Poetry Salzburg Review 39 (Autumn 2022) will be dedicated to Derek.

2022/05/23
We are grateful - and at the same time proud - that the new Poetry Library at Manchester Metropolitan University has ordered our entire Poetry Salzburg Pamphlet Series (37 pamphlets). If you have a spare copy of Keith Hutson's pamphlet Routines, please donate it to the Poetry Library (or I will buy it back from you!). Despite a reprint it sold so well that never Keith nor we have a copy left other than our own personal copy.

All the copies of the new issue No. 38 (Spring 2022) - without the exception of some of the pre-paid extra copies - have been posted. We hope that you like the first issue edited by the new Editorial Board (John Challis, Robert Dassanowsky, Hilary Davies, Lisa Fishman, Martin Malone, Lisa Samuels). It is once again a big issue with 200 pages of new poetry, translations, and review essays by more than 75 contributors, among them Sean O'Brien, Philip Gross, John Greening, Hilary Davies, Mark Pajak, and Harriet Jae. On our website you can study the ToC and read the Editorial, this time contributed by Lisa Samuels, our new Editorial Board member from New Zealand.

Prices for paper, energy and postage/transportation have gone up considerably - by 25-30% - since we published the previous issue. However, I did not want to increase the subscription fee, at a time when prices are increased by almost everyone. I want us to be an exception to this widespread development. However, in due course we will also be forced to increase the sub price slightly.

Please support the magazine and persuade your friends and colleagues to take out a subscription - this is the link http://www.poetrysalzburg.com/psr.htm - you will find the Paypal buttons on the page.

We still have a few copies of the current issue Poetry Salzburg Review 37. Perhaps you want us to send a copy as a present to a friend of yours or a relative? Or if you are not yet a subscriber, perhaps you want to take out a subscription? We also have a Special Offer (until the end of February 2022!): Take out a subscription to Poetry Salzburg Review and you will receive a free pamphlet from our Poetry Salzburg Pamphlet Series. You can take out a gift subscription for somebody and we will enclose a note to identify the donor. We can either send you the gift pamphlet or the recipient of the gift subscription will receive it.

These days it is difficult to find financial support for poetry, let alone English-language poetry published from a German-language country. This development also means that we are entirely dependent on the support of our readers and subscribers.

Second Special Offer (until the end of February 2022!): Buy a Poetry Salzburg book and you will receive a free pamphlet from our Poetry Salzburg Pamphlet Series.

The copies of Poetry Salzburg Review 37 (Summer 2021) have arrived. I have started to post the EU copies. UK and overseas copies will take much longer, as - thanks to Brexit and all the nice people in the UK voting "Leave" - it has become much more difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to post them. Please do not send us queries but support us in these difficult times by renewing your subscription or taking one out either for yourself or a friend of yours, it is a wonderful present.

And it’ll be live on Youtube. Click here.
Their collections are already available from Bloodaxe: Click here for John's book and click here for Penelope's book.
Both collections will be reviewed in Poetry Salzburg Review 38 (Winter 2021). Penelope Shuttle's Poetry Salzburg pamphlet Father Lear is still available: Click here.
John Challis is also a member of Poetry Salzburg Review's editorial board.

2021/06/02
In early 2001 Poetry Salzburg Review began with an editorial board that consisted of four poet-critics and retained its numerical strength until 2017 despite various changes in its composition. After 2017, however, it went down to just two. Robert Dassanowsky and Keith Hutson, who had just joined the PSR team at the suggestion of William Bedford, have been an incredible support in dealing with an ever-increasing workload.

But the occasion demands particular mention of Keith. Readers will remember his pamphlet Routines, which was released in October 2016 and attracted enormous attention. He was invited to numerous festivals and readings, the distinguished attention culminating in an invitation from the former Poet Laureate herself to read with her under the “Carol Ann Duffy and Guests” scheme for the RSL at the British Library. Under the Laureate’s Choice scheme at smith|doorstop she selected Keith’s pamphlet Troupers for publication in February 2018. She also introduced Keith to her publisher Neil Astley of Bloodaxe, who decided to launch Keith’s first collection, Baldwin’s Catholic Geese , in 2019. His own success story as a poet, his diverse experiences while running the reading series WordPlay in Halifax, as well as his network of contacts as an MA Poetry graduate at Manchester Metropolitan University have enabled Keith to exercise an enormous influence on the way the magazine has developed in the past three and a half years. But Keith did not restrict his support to the magazine only. He also initiated many publication projects for our imprint Poetry Salzburg, among them pamphlets and collections by John Challis, Anthony Costello, Mike Di Placido, and Emily Oldfield. So much in praise and thanks. The sad fact is that despite our very successful collaboration, Keith has decided to stand down as a member of the board for very personal reasons. Issues 31-37 are a legacy of Keith’s sheer enthusiasm, poetic taste, and commitment, for which I would like to thank him also on behalf of our many readers. Should you ever decide, dear Keith, that you are in a position to resume your work for PSR, you will be more than welcome.

I have managed to obtain the support of five poet-critics, who have agreed to join Robert Dassanowsky as members of the editorial board. For Lisa Fishman, a professor of English and Creative Writing at Columbia College Chicago, it is a return to familiar fields, as she was a founding member of the board. Last year she published her seventh collection, Mad World, Mad Kings, Mad Composition, with Wave Books. For Hilary Davies too it is a case of returning to old pastures, considering that she edited Argo, together with David Constantine, for ten years. Her most recent collection is Exile and the Kingdom (Enitharmon, 2016). In future issues we will increasingly feature poetry from Australia and New Zealand, as Lisa Samuels, a professor of English and Drama at University of Auckland, has also decided to join our board; our UK readers will certainly remember her half a dozen collections published by Shearsman Books. Her new collection, Breach, is forthcoming from Boiler House Press. In addition, John Challis, whose forthcoming first collection The Resurrectionists (Bloodaxe) will be reviewed in No. 38, and Martin Malone, who used to edit The Interpreter’s House, have accepted my invitation to join us. A warm welcome to all of you at Poetry Salzburg Review!

The Austrian poets represented in the supplement are: Erich Fried • H. C. Artmann • Ilse Aichinger • Friederike Mayröcker • Ernst Jandl • Elfriede Gerstl • Peter Henisch • Peter Turrini • Robert Schindel • Hans Raimund • Antonio Fian • Ann Cotten • Sophie Reyer .

During Christmas holidays it is always a good idea to remember friends and colleagues who have influenced your life. Professor Dr James Lester Hogg, founding editor of University of Salzburg Press - the predecessor of Poetry Salzburg - who died on 18 November 2018, was my mentor since the mid 1980s. Without him neither the small press Poetry Salzburg nor the magazine Poetry Salzburg Review would have been founded. Yesterday afternoon we visited his grave in Seeham, 20 km north of Salzburg.

On behalf of the Poetry Salzburg Review team - Robert Dassanowsky, Keith Hutson, Wolfgang Görtschacher - our Editorial Assistant Tinker Bell wants to thank all our poets, readers, and supporters and hopes that you can enjoy the new issue No. 36 over the holidays.

In 2011 we celebrated the eightieth birthday of Prof. James Hogg, the founding editor and mastermind behind Salzburg's successful and impressive poetry series, with a 150-page anthology. 45 poets contributed new poems to show their appreciation of James's work. On the occasion of the second anniversary of James's death we have decided to choose Poetic Pilgrimages: James Hogg at Eighty as Book of the Month. A copy costs only £6.50 (+ 2.00 p&p), €6.50 (+ 2.00 p&p), US$8.00 (+ 3.00 p&p).

In Poetry Salzburg Review 37 (Spring/Summer 2021) we will introduce the Dutch poet Hanny Michaelis (1922 – 2007) to our readers. Her difficult marriage to the well-known Dutch novelist Gerard Reve undoubtedly accounts for the mournful note of much of her love poetry. Her war diaries are currently being translated into English. The poems translated are from her selected poems: Hanny Michaelis, Verzamelde Gedichten, Van Oorschot, Amsterdam 2011. The six translations are by the well-known poet-translator Judith Wilkinson, whose prizes include the Popescu Prize for European Poetry in Translation and the Brockway Prize.

Lawrence Upton (1949-2019), whose death was announced recently, was a leading figure in what has been called the British Poetry Revival as a poet, publisher, sound artist, graphic artist and performer. In the 1970s, he was actively involved in Poets Conference, the Association of Little Presses, Writers Forum and the Poetry Society (becoming the Society’s Deputy Chair from 1974 to 1978). During the 1970s, he performed with P.C. Fencott and cris cheek in the sound poetry performance group jgjgjg across Europe and as a solo performer in the US and Canada. During the next decades, he continued to work as a poet, composer and performer. He founded the influential magazine RWC in 1990 and ran the important London-based reading series Subvoicive from 1994-2005. He is probably best known for his collaboration with Bob Cobbing: from 1994 to 2000, he and Cobbing wrote and performed the collaborative visual poem, Domestic Ambient Noise, which ran to some 2,000 pages. They also co-edited the ground-breaking Word Score Utterance Choreography (Writers Forum, 1998), a primer for the performance of visual poetry. After Cobbing’s death in 2002, Upton moved to Cornwall. He continued to visit London as a Research Fellow in the Music Department at Goldsmiths’ College, University of London, between 2008 and 2015. There was also a more tender, lyrical side to his poetry, which is evident in his many published works, but particularly the later works where he responds to the landscapes of Cornwall and the Scilly Isles.

Our friend, mentor, and contributor, William Oxley (1939-2020), died during the afternoon of Tuesday 4 February. We want to express our condolences to Patricia, editor of Acumen Magazine, and his daughters Elizabeth and Katie. Without William my own life would have been very different, less challenging and more boring. At the beginning of my academic career he helped me a lot and was my mentor, my father figure. He arranged my interviews with editors of little magazines, critics and small press publishers for my PhD thesis and first book Little Magazine Profiles (1993). He got me interested in translation and we started to translate poems by Georg Trakl. Without William Poetry Salzburg and Poetry Salzburg Review would probably not exist. His support of James Hogg, the founder of University Salzburg Press and the Salzburg Poets series, and his suggestions were crucial. He, Peter Russell and Anthony Johnson were the first Salzburg poets. Many students (and colleagues) at our university remember William with great affection and gratitude. William participated in many seminars in the 1980s and 1990s and was a private tutor for their BA, MA, and PhD theses.

On the occasion of William’s sixtieth birthday Glyn Pursglove and I edited a poetry festschrift, A Glass of New Made Wine. In many contributions William’s gift for friendship is stressed. We were fortunate enough to count William as a friend. As Fred Beake has said, “there will never be another William I think, he was quite unique.”

Our friend, the Irish poet, translator and critic Desmond O'Grady (1935-2014), died yesterday of a heart attack in Kinsale,two days short of his 79th birthday. Poetry Salzburg had the honour of publishing two of Desmond's most important volumes,Trawling Tradition. Translations 1954-1994 (1994) and The Road Taken. Poems 1956-1996 (1996).In 2003 we also launched the Desmond O'Grady casebook entitled The Wide World.

The Irish President Michael D. Higgins has paid tribute to Desmond in the Irish Independent and commented:"He leaves a fine collection of work, reflecting both his migrant experience and his affection for his homeland, thatwill be studied and cherished by future generations. Those of us who knew him as a friend will never forget his rich sense ofhumour and his deep commitment to friendships which he valued and enriched."(click here to read the full obituary in the Irish Independent).

More information on Desmond can be found on his Facebook page.

Due to personal reasons David Miller has decided to leave the Editorial Board of Poetry Salzburg Review after thepublication of issue 19. David has been part of our team from the very first issue and is therefore its longest servingmember. His influence on the editorial policy of PSR cannot be overestimated. He commissioned many (young) poetsto contribute work to PSR, some of which was quite experimental. PSR has always had a catholic approach topoetry and does not want to limit itself to publishing primarily mainstream / conservative poetry. Even if David is not"on board" anymore we will not change this. We want to thank David for all the time and energy he has spent on making PSRthe successful magazine which it is now and wish him the very best for his future.

This is the first time that the publication of an issue has been considerably delayed. For this we offer due apologiesto our readers. The printer we have been working with for more than fifteen years went bankrupt, a fact of which we onlyreceived notice in late February when we were about to send in the CDROM of a new collection. It has been difficult to find aprinter willing to devote himself with the same care and degree of commitment to our projects and whose rates we could stillafford. Finally we have managed to sign a contract with Friedrich Druckerei in Baden-Württemberg. It is to be hoped that thenew partnership will once again be a long standing one.

Today we posted the CDROM for Poetry Salzburg Review 17 (Spring 2010) and we hope that we will receive the galleysfrom our printer soon. We will announce on our website when we start to post your copies of PSR 17.
