Fine Madness (not A Fine Madness!) was founded in 1982 by Seattle poet and sheetrock-layer par excellence Louis Bergsagel.
In 1984, four other editors, all poets themselves, were brought on to help with the effort and financing of the magazine, which publishes almost exclusively poetry (and an occasional prose piece) from the Pacific Northwest, the U.S. in general, and other countries. We publish both well known and lesser known writers, with no bias as to form or subject.
Louis Bergsagel retired from the magazine in 1995. Christine Deavel, Kathryn Macdonald, John Marshall, and the late James Snydal are editors emeritus.

Neither our site nor our magazine have advertising, which means more poetry!
