This third and (we believe) final issue of the magazine has as its cover "The Temptation of St Anthony" by Peter Breughel the Elder, and now cost two shillings and sixpence. There were at least two further magazine relaunches of "Oxford Poetry"-like publications in the 1970s: the first, "Oxford Poetry Magazine", 1973-4, ran for at least three issues, and was published by the Oxford University Poetry Society. The contributors were a mixture of Oxford dons (such as John Fuller and John Wain) and students (notably one Andrew Motion), but with invited contributions from outsiders too (such as Ted Hughes, who had just published "Crow"). The second magazine relaunch, 1977-8, called "Oxford Poetry Now", edited by James Lindesay and which ran for at least four 40pp issues: it had some distinguished contributors, mostly well-established poets with an Oxford connection (such as John Heath-Stubbs and Elizabeth Jennings), and had covers by Graham Sutherland and Elisabeth Frink.
