The real circumstances of the world may have changed, but they are every bit as pressing as they were when the magazine began. As the English language marches towards an apparent hegemony, the need for its readers and writers to be confronted by what is foreign is greater still.
Issues of MPT generally offer a themed special section in addition to a wide-ranging selection of poems from other times and places, plus essays and reviews. The average issue of around 200 pages has a cover specially designed by the artist and designer, Lucy Wilkinson. Contents of the issues, as well as information about submissions can be viewed at www.mptmagazine.com
