About

Atrium is a poetry webzine based in Worcestershire, UK.

We publish a new poem twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The word ‘atrium’ has two main links – to the heart, and to spacious central areas in buildings that are open and light. With this is mind, we want to publish poems that allow our readers to think, feel and see things in a new way.

We would love to read your work. Please see our submission guidelines for further details.
