Line 52:
Rich was the founder of ''Manifold'', "the magazine of new poetry". It was started in 1962 and appeared regularly under her editorship until May 1969, when it was suspended owing to her taking a job as Soviet and East European Correspondent for the scientific weekly ''[[Nature (journal)|Nature]]''. At the time of its suspension ''Manifold'' had close on 900 subscribers, almost half of them in the USA. This initially temporary job at ''Nature'' lasted for more than 20 years. It was only in 1998 that it proved possible to relaunch ''Manifold''. All together, 49 issues were published under Rich's editorship. It published original high-quality poetry in traditional and innovative styles, in various variants of English, and – from time to time – in major European languages, as well as translations of poetry from less-known languages.
