Magma has a new website and blog, both of them worthy counterparts to what is one of my favourite UK poetry mags (it's one that I tend to buy every issue of, whereas with some I pick and choose a bit more).
You can sample some of the poetry from the new issue, and there's also a couple of interesting pieces, one of them a review of Inventory, Linda Black's Shearsman collection of prose poems, and another Hannah Salt's look at exactly what a prose poem is. Don't ask me for any answers - I'm prepared to accept that a prose poem is a prose poem because the poet says it is.

possibly the bes way to define such a thing... the classic car movement has a similar thing.. "A classic car is any car that could be considered a classic...." and there's always "The Black Country is where a Black Country Mon says it is.." ... and you can't get a better precedent than that.....
Thanks for your kind words about the magazine and the new site, much appreciated.
