Envoi Poetry

Cinnamon Press is proud to publish Envoi now in its 53rd year.

Envoi has high production values – published in February, June and October as a 96 page, large format, perfect bound matt laminate journal with an eye to presenting the poetry well on the page.  We also include a substantial section of reviews in the magazine and carry occasional poetry related articles and poetry in translation.  In addition, Envoi has a tradition of open poetry competitions and this is now an annual competition with a closing date in February for publication in the June edition.
