Description
New Coin was one of South Africa’s most established and influential poetry journals. It published poetry, and poetry-related reviews, commentary and interviews. New Coin placed a particular emphasis on evolving forms and experimental use of the English language in poetry in the South African context.
In this sense it has traced the most exciting trends and currents in contemporary poetry in South Africa for a decade of more. The journal was published twice a year in June and December by the Institute for the Study of English in Africa (ISEA), Rhodes University.
