The English Intelligencer was a mid-1960s little magazine devoted to poetry and letters[1][2] founded and edited by poets Andrew Crozier and Peter Riley.
[4] The Intelligencer was circulated to a mailing list of British poets; the number of correspondents varied between 25 and 65, with a constant core of about a dozen.
[8] In December 1966, amid disputes over the value of the Intelligencer and its future, Prynne wrote that he had lost trust in the project's "shared language".
[9] Daniel Eltringham argues that the Intelligencer influenced later modernist landscape poetry in the United Kingdom by drawing attention to histories of commons and enclosure.
[6] Eltringham also suggests, however, that the publication's small circulation limited its political efficacy, and notes that its mailing list included only four women.
