Jacket was an online literary periodical founded by the Australian poet John Tranter, published from 1997-2010. The first issue was in October 1997.[1]
Until 2010, each new number of the magazine was posted at the website piece by piece until the new issue was full, when the next issue started. Past issues remain posted as well. Most of the material was original to the magazine, "but some is excerpted from or co-produced with hard-to-get books and magazines, partly to help them find new readers", according to the Jacket website.
Peter Forbes called Jacket the "prince of online poetry magazines".[2] After the 40th volume, Tranter gave the magazine to the University of Pennsylvania in 2010, where it was published with an augmented staff and resources at the Kelly Writers House as Jacket2.[3][4]
