    Curious question to everyone out there...what writing/poet magazines do you subscribe to? What do you really like and/or feel are the best in the biz and to stay current on topics? I subscribe to Poets & Writers but was curious about all the other ones I keep getting tantalizing subscription letters from.

    Thanks!

    I subscribe to P & W. I just received my 'last' issue from WRITER'S DIGEST and think I will give them a break for awhile. I also get the AWP magazine (I am a member).

    I once got a free copy of THE WRITER and did not care for it--nothing learned.

    I 'subscribe' to the free email letters from Publishers Weekly as well. That way I keep on top of the publishing world (when I read them). Peace...

    Like the Atlantic, NY Times Book Review and a few others. Nothing personal - just the usual "subscribe" crap. Prob just got my name through mailings lists or whatnot.

    My favorites are The New York Review of Books and The London Review of Books. P & W is okay and there's an occasional article like the one Dan Albergotti wrote on metaphor last month that's brilliant, but on the whole, it's not all that. The information they provide that's really helpful is easier to access on their Internet site. I used to get The Writer's Chronicle (AWP pub), but again, meh. I couldn't live without The New York Review of Books, although I do miss the late Tony Judt's excellent writing which used to regularly grace its pages. If I had to choose only one mag--that's the one I couldn't give up.
