Stanzas Poetry Magazine is South Africa’s only literary magazine dedicated to poetry. It is currently triannual, publishing poetry, reviews of poetry, and obituaries.

History

Stanzas was started in 2015 [1] by poets Douglas Reid Skinner and Patricia Schonstein following the closure of Gus Ferguson’s Carapace. Initially a quarterly magazine, Stanzas was published by Schonstein’s African Sun Press in association with Skinner’s Leftfield Poetry and the McGregor Poetry Festival. [2]

Patricia Schonstein left the magazine after issue 20 [3] and from issue 21 the magazine became triannual while increasing in size. [4]

The magazine aims to contain “as wide a mix of voices as one can persuade to participate” while maintaining “An unending humbleness before the whole tradition of the art.” [5]

It takes its guiding principles from long-time patron Jonty Driver:

A literary culture requires reaffirming and renewing by each generation as it gathers in the inheritance of the past and weaves it into a future. [6]
