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 with Raymond Friel again on PS, a supplement to Painted, spoken that publishes articles, reviews and Price's listings column An Information.

Hundreds of magazines are documented in British Poetry Magazines 1914-2000 compiled by David Miller and Richard
