Magma 32 - Summer 2005 by Magma Editors

The theme of Magma 32 is the sea. Magma is the poetry partner of SeaBritain 2005. SeaBritain 2005 is a year long campaign to celebrate Britain’s love affair with the sea, inspired by the bicentenary of Admiral Lord Nelson’s famous victory at the Battle of Trafalgar and of his death in action on October 21st 1805.

Magma launches the search for the SeaBritain 2005 Best Sea Poem, which will culminate with a reading in November in Greenwich in partnership with SeaBritain 2005 and the National Maritime Museum.

As always, Magma is committed to the best in contemporary poetry, and Magma 32 has new sea poems by Theo Dorgan, Henry Shukman, John Stammers and Matthew Sweeney amongst many others.
