Join us for a celebration of Latin American poetry from the latest issue of Magma

For the last 25 years Magma has built a reputation for being an exciting part of the UK poetry world. They draw in a range of poets and readers from around the world.

At this special event, we celebrate the launch of the latest issue of Magma titled Resistencia. The issue celebrates poetry influenced by the passion, politics and power of Latin American culture. Resistencia features Latin American poets living in Latin America. It also includes poets who have settled in North America (US Latinx) and those who have made the UK their home (British Latinx). The issue also features poets from the Caribbean, Africa and Korea. All of these poets are inspired by Latin American culture as a whole.

Editors Nathalie Teitler and Leonardo Boix will present the issue, followed by readings by poets contributors.
