Looking for literary magazines that are well-known for their reviews of newly-published poetry, both chapbooks and full-length books.
I am trying to come up with a shortlist of magazines and poetry reviews that will accept a free, unsolicited review copy of a book of poetry that is coming out next month.
If you have (an) easy answer(s) to the question, I will add some narrowing criteria: the work in question is a ~60 page collection of mature poems by an already-published author, past editor of a major periodical, and past and current scholar and professor of philosophy. The poems in question are lyrical reflections on the natural world that have a quiet profundity to them. If we can narrow down the list further with these, great!

The people over at the Alsop Review (a really marvelous poetry workshop site, btw) may know. They have a section called "Publishing Your Work" where you should consider posting your question. There's generally lots of discussion of various lit mags and their practices. Good luck!

Rain Taxi Review of Books springs to mind.
Also, here is a long list of journals that are members of the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses.

If I'm not too late, I like reading reviews in Denver Quarterly, Boston Review, and Octopus.

i understand that the The Malahat Review is the shit for poetry in canada. went to the reading for the green imagination issue last night where my girlfriend [shameless plug] read beautifully.
but i don't know if they accept submissions from far afield, or if it would be of any interest to you.
