erbacce is the brainchild of Alan Corkish and Andrew Taylor and is proudly independent since May-Day 2004; i.e. we recieve none of that Arts Council filthy lucre or sponsorship money from anyone.

 

The word erbacce rhymes with 'apache' and has its roots in the Italian word for 'weeds' and as you all know weeds grow where they want to, not where they're told to... eventually they may take over the garden...

 

We publish poetry which is radical in form or content and each issue 'features' a poet whose work we really like... we interview that poet then devote half of the journal to his/her poetry.

 

Don't expect us to favour your work because you are black, disabled, a woman or a minority of any kind; we will have no part of that type of discrimination. Work sent to us is distributed 'blind' to a selection panel and if they like it then it goes in. QUALITY, RADICALISM and TALENT is what motivates us not if you happen to be a one-legged, Black, Welsh, Lesbian...
