The Hampden-Sydney Poetry Review has been a respected journal in the world of poetry for over thirty years. In 2008 it reached a turning point in its history as Tom O’Grady, founding editor, retired from the faculty of Hampden-Sydney College and from his position as editor of the Poetry Review. A new editor, Nathaniel Perry, took over in the fall of 2008.
The magazine has published a long list of the world’s distinguished poets: Nobel laureates Jaroslav Seifert and Roald Hoffman; Pulitzer prizewinners W.D. Snodgrass, Kenneth Rexroth, Peter Viereck, Louis Simpson, Charles Simic, and Henry Taylor; National Book Award winners Robert Bly, A. R. Ammons, and William Stafford; and many, many others. It is the second longest continuously-run poetry journal in the United States.
