History edit
The magazine was established in 1958 by Ursule Molinaro, Venable Herndon, George Economou, Robert Kelly and Joan Kelly.[1][2][3] Later, Sonia Raiziss was an editor. It published poems and prose by Denise Levertov,[4] Umberto Eco, Raymond Carver, and Grace Paley. Writers such as W. S. Merwin, Sylvia Plath, A. R. Ammons and Paul Auster were published in the magazine when they were still emerging. Two entire issues (1976 and 2000) were devoted to the work of Laura (Riding) Jackson.
The journal has published both new and emerging writers, some of whom have received awards or had their work in the magazine subsequently published in the Pushcart Prize, The Best American Poetry series, the O. Henry Awards, and others.
Chelsea was published twice a year, in June and December, by Chelsea Associates, a non-profit corporation.
Chelsea ceased publication in 2007.[5]
