This issue contains early poems by Christiania Whitehead, whose first collection was to be one of the most praised poetry books of 1999. Although Oxford Poetry had by now become a magazine open to contributions from all comers, it continued also to catch poets in the University who would go on to great things, and Christiania is a good example.

Jon Stallworthy: Interview by Peter McDonald;

Nicholas Jacobs: Demon in the Garden; from the Liber Facetarium of Giovanni Francesco Poggio Bracciolini (Tale CLXVII; Tale CCXXV);

B. C. Leale: A Fine Day on the Island; Dancing Attendance on the Great Masters;

Maeve McGuckian, as Medbh McGuckian: Anna's Lane; Displaced to the Blue; Garbo at the Gaumont; Gigot Sleeves;

Paul Durcan: Interview by Christiania Whitehead; John Field Visits His Seventy-Eight-Year-Old Widowed Mother; Family Planning Clinic, Easter Sunday Morning;

Toby Litt: The Journey;

Stewart Brown: Mimic Man; Pope;

R. N. Allan: Katabasis; Ham Actor;
