no preface

With this issue Oxford Poetry was finally relaunched on a viable basis, as a three-times-annual magazine: between 1983 and 1996 it published 32 to 48-page stapled issues, with pages numbered so that each volume of three issues formed one book. Advertising from local booksellers (Waterfield's, for instance, but especially Blackwell's, who have been loyal to the magazine ever since) helped to sustain the finances. This issue also saw the first Oxford Poetry interview, with Gavin Ewart: with one exception every subsequent issue has included at least one interview. Of the editors, Mick Imlah is now poetry editor of the TLS, Nicholas Jenkins is a Professor of English specialising in Auden and Elise Paschen is secretary of the Poetry Society of America.
