Theme: Younger Scottish Poets. In this issue, the Richard Ellmann Prize is announced. Seamus Heaney endowed it for the first five years: the editors, in consultation with the Professor of Poetry, choose a judge, who then awards the prize to the best poem in one volume's issues. The winning poem is then reprinted in the first issue of the next volume. A donation by James Fenton has ensured that the Prize will shortly begin again.
