As a not-for-profit organisation, we do our utmost to keep our subscription rates as low as possible. However:

  1. We have to charge more for online payments to cover Paypal fees.
  2. Due to soaring mailing costs plus hefty increases in currency conversion fees from the banks, we have been forced to put up our overseas subscriptions.

We hope nevertheless that you will agree that Acumen still represents excellent value for money.

If you are overseas and would like to receive a PDF copy of Acumen to lessen postage costs and delays, you can subscribe for pdf copies e-mailed to you for £16. Please send a cheque to the address below of £16, requesting PDF version and providing your email.

For these orders, please make payment in £ sterling within paypal or when sending cheque.

Acumen deserves to be read for its first-hand experience of poetry. The work it does is the opposite of academic and therefore valuable.  
Hugo Williams
A beacon in the west, Acumen’s guiding light is valued throughout the world of letters. Printing the best, and not necessarily the most celebrated, is its policy.
Peter Porter
Over the years Acumen has just got better and better.
Dannie Abse
Acumen…is well produced and impressively wide-ranging.
The Poetry Review
…the magazine’s flag: sharpness of wit; penetration of perception; keenness of discrimination.
TLS
Long may Acumen continue to publish good poems and interesting articles.  
Wendy Cope
Good poetry and thoughtful articles and reviews.  
Sophie Hannah
Acumen is invaluable for the range of original poems it publishes, for its support of translations and for the seriousness of its reviewing.  
Alan Brownjohn
