Anon is a poetry magazine where poems are assessed anonymously. We publish the names of all our poets if they are accepted.

We should really be called "Blind Review", but that is somehow less catchy. Poems that are rejected remain ‘anonymous’ – the editors do not discover the names of poets they reject. You can read our latest news, read more about the magazine or consider supporting us via subscriptions and back issue orders which keep Anon alive - if you like us, please show your support. Good starting points are our first editorial from founding editor Mike Stocks and our Anon 2 article Anonymous Submission and the Established Writer where a number of writers consider the idea of anonymous submission.

Relaunched by new editors Colin Fraser and Peggy Hughes in 2009, Anon is currently published once a year and includes a mixture of new poems, articles and the odd illustration. Founded by Mike Stocks in 2003, Anon's pioneering experiment in poetry submissions has caused its own degree of controversy.

We aren't evangelical about our submissions process - we like other poetry magazines and we feel there is space for all of us to coexist. Listen to our first podcast for an interview with Mike where he discusses his own thoughts on anonymous submission. Or read his editorial from the very first edition of Anon.

If you fancy subscribing, that helps us with the general running of the magazine.

"This is nothing short of fabulous. Our celebrity culture is in such desperate need of an enema. We're completely clogged up with ego and projects like this have become essential in every way." Mario Petrucci

"Names here don’t count. Only the poetry does. It is judged by its words, its form, the way it sounds, the way it looks. Quality matters. Remember that elusive factor? At Anon it’s back." Peter Finch
