 Cleary describes his editorship as a quest to discover an urgency in poetry that was missing in the mid-80s and to publish poets willing to 'get their hands dirty'.The Echo Room relaunched in the spring of 2012 with Volume 2 Issue 1 with support from Pighog Press in Brighton.The new magazine published many poets who had appeared in the original series of magazines and retained much of its original low budget style including a Matthew Caley designed cover and a substantial number of typos.
