Magazines

Richard Price's interest in editing magazines started at secondary school when he was one of the editors of the school magazine. After university he co-edited Gairfish with W. N. Herbert, Verse, and Southfields with Raymond Friel. His current magazine is Painted, spoken. In 2006 he began working again with Raymond Friel, author of Stations of the Heart, on PS, a supplement to Painted, spoken that publishes articles, reviews and Price's listings column An Information.

Hundreds of magazines are documented in David Miller and Richard Price's British Poetry Magazines 1914-2000 (British Library and Oak Knoll, 2006) which was featured on Ian Macmillan's BBC Radio programme The Verb.

The book, a history, bibliography and finding aid for British little magazines, has received very enthusiastic reviews. These include: "This volume is a major research tool which all university libraries ought to possess" (The Year's Work in English Studies); "This book will be a crucial resource for anybody working on twentieth-century poetry as well as on modernism" (Andrzej Gasiorek and Peter Boxall, The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory); and "Miller and Price have produced an invaluable reference tool that will have a lengthy shelf-life" (William Baker, Library Review).
