Martin Holroyd

Martin Holroyd attended the Nottingham College of Art, after which he got married and had children. For many years he ran Poetry Monthly Press, Poetry Monthly magazine and a graphic design company. He published one volume of poetry; Strawberry Bullets (Poetry Monthly Press, 1998). Upon retirement, he became a folk guitarist.

Being an experienced writer himself, he has an eye for a good poem and I found many poems I enjoyed in each of these issues. This magazine is no closed shop, Martin encourages the new writer and many a poet has had their first poems published within his magazines.
