This morning independent poetry publisher Salt launched online literary magazine Horizon Review, inspired by and named after Cyril Connolly's incisive literary review from the 1940s. Connolly – memorably described as "Smarty-Boots" by Evelyn Waugh - attracted a great deal of attention for Horizon, whose contributors included Henry Miller, Ian Fleming, George Orwell and TS Eliot.
Salt's 21st century tribute has made a worthy start, featuring an interview with China Miéville, poetry from George Szirtes and new fiction from Elizabeth Baines and David Belbin, amongst lots of other gems. It's definitely worth checking out, and is a welcome addition to the quality literary offerings springing up across the internet, such as Hamish Hamilton's new Five Dials (the latest edition features Raymond Chandler, a problem page from Alain de Botton and an unpublished essay from Roger Deakin). More please.
