PNR through the Years

A selection of front covers from the archive, showing shifts in design since Poetry Nation first appeared in 1973 as an A5 hardback, published biannually. With the exception of  Vol 1, No 4 (top-left), which takes the original schema, the covers shown here are all A4 paperbacks, a format adopted in 1976 when the magazine moved to quarterly publication.
