Playerist Poetry Magazine

Playerist Poetry Magazine (ISSN 2048-2515) was an annual journal of poetics and graphic arts. It was founded in 2011 by writer Martin Slidel.

Ethos

Playerist featured "a range of emergent and established writers and artists"[1] from London, the UK, and worldwide, as a platform for new work. 'Names' included photographer Ellen Nolan, Ivor Novello Award winner Catherine Howe, singer Christine Collister, actor Amy McAllister and international Jazz vocalist Barb Jungr. For its second edition, actor Margaret Nolan (who further contributed artwork and verse to the project[2]) was interviewed about her experience as model for Robert Brownjohn's Goldfinger film title sequence[3]. Playerist was a black and white A5 pamphlet on 100g satin paper with an annual run of 200 copies. It is on catalogue at The Saison Poetry Library, South Bank Centre; listed as a poetry magazine. Prints were distributed at a range of city venues. As a performance collective, Playerist staged several arts and music events, usually at Covent Garden's Poetry Society,[4] many of which were filmed for the Rockyoumentally YouTube Channel[5] (director: Alexander McLean). Its launch event in 2011 was at The Seven Dials Club, also in Covent Garden (London). Playerist has a 5-star rating on WorldCat. It followed set themes from its inception in 2011 through to its final edition in 2018. Brighton multi media artist Yassin Zelestine contributed commissioned works for each issue. The 2014 edition on the theme of 'Mistakes'[6] ironically contained a typo resulting in its first run being remaindered.
