The Paris Review

Founded in Paris in 1953 by Peter Matthiessen, Harold L. Humes, and George Plimpton — who edited it for fifty years — The Paris Review set out to put fiction and poetry ahead of criticism, and its Writers at Work interview series became the most famous archive of craft conversation in existence. Poetry editors across its history have included Donald Hall, Tom Clark, Richard Howard, Charles Simic, and Dan Chiasson.

Now based in New York, the quarterly reads poetry during limited windows that fill quickly (watch the submission portal at the start of a reading period). It pays for accepted work, publishes a small number of poems per issue, and runs the Morning Poetry newsletter drawn from its deep archive.
