''Agenda'' is a literary journal published in London and founded by William Cookson. ''Agenda Editions'' is an imprint of the journal operating as a small press. ==History and editorial orientation== ''Agenda'' was started in 1959, after Cookson had met Ezra Pound in Italy the previous year. Pound had originally suggested that Cookson edit pages in an existing publication, but when these plans did not come to fruition, the bookseller and poet Peter Russell suggested that Cookson found his own magazine. ''Agenda'' was edited with Peter Dale and then Patricia McCarthy, who continues to edit the journal following Cookson's death in 2003. The editorial preoccupations of ''Agenda'' reflected Cookson's own passions. The journal continued to champion Pound long after the poet's death. A "Special Issue in Honour of Ezra Pound's Eighty-Fifth Birthday" (Vol. 8, Nos. 3-4) was a significant early issue of the journal in 1970, and a special issue on "Dante, Ezra Pound and Contemporary Poetry" (Vol. 34, Nos. 3-4) was published as late as 1996. Cookson also used ''Agenda'' to promote the reputation of David Jones, devoting two major special issues to him (in 1967 and 1974) in addition to articles in several other issues. ''Agenda Editions'' published several major Jones volumes. These included ''The Kensington Mass'' (1975, published with a photographic reproduction of the manuscript) and ''The Roman Quarry'' (1981), a full-length volume of until then unpublished material. ''Agenda Editions'' published volumes of Jones's letters in 1979 and 1996. ''Agenda'' is also notable for its focus upon the art of translation. Recent issues include "Translation as Metamorphosis" in 2005 (Vol. 4, No. 4). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agenda (poetry journal)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
