Name your favorite poets (deceased). Journal What literary journals do you like, other than your own?
Hopkins, Plath, Stevens (and Eliot) [MJB]. I can't limit myself to three. Here are nine: Baudelaire, Brontė, Dickinson, Hopkins, Keats, Plath, Rimbaud, Shakespeare, Stevens. [TD] Boston Review
Mary Jo Bang and Timothy Donnelly
Many, including: Black Warrior Review, Conjunctions, Grand Street, New American Writing, Countermeasures, Colorado Review, Denver Quarterly, The Paris Review, and Volt [MJB, TD].
That always changes. Same with individual poems. I'll read a poem one day and be very moved by it, and a month later I'll read it and think, "Oh, that's not great." Or vice versa. Five Fingers Review
Jaime Robles
I like a lot of 'zines,' although I guess they don't qualify as journals.
Impossible question. I refer frequently to, among others, Yeats, Bishop, and Stevens. The Journal
Kathy Fagan
As a writer and editor I've learned something from virtually every literary magazine I've ever read. I admire so many of them, and am especially grateful to those who labor--and what a strange and laborious job it is--to bring us our small and various doses of new literature.
Denise Levertov; living: Czeslaw Milosz and Seamus Heaney. Oregon East Magazine
Sheri Edvalson

Theocritus, Milton, Miklos Radnoti. Salt
John Kinsella
I read dozens and like journals across a broad range. Some are: Chain, Poetry, The Paris Review, Sulfur, Kenyon Review, Talisman, Meanjin, Conjunctions, Poetry Review, and Grand Street.
Rimbaud, Langston Hughes, Denise Levertov. The Seattle Review
Colleen J. McElroy
Ploughshares, Kenyon Review, Poetry Northwest, and Massachusetts Review, among others.
Robert Frost, William Stafford, and Allen Ginsberg. Verve
Ron Reichick
We like too many literary journals to list.>
Many of our favorites are contemporary. But who can't admire Dickinson, Frost, Bishop, Whitman, Roethke, et cetera from our poetic heritage? Whetstone
Sandra Berris, Marsha Portnoy, Jean Tolle
Any journal that strives to promote the liteary arts to the general public. Imagine if the television watchers of the world could discover the wit of Billy Collins in The Paris Review, the honesty of Sharon Olds in TriQuarterly, the transformation of ordinary experience by Galway Kinnell in Poetry, et cetera.
