A strong regard for international poetry is central to The Wolf's aesthetic, recent features have included introductions to contemporary Syrian, Ukrainian and Croatian poetry .

Recent critical work has included pieces on Anne Carson, Muriel Rukeyser, John Ashbery, Kay Boyle, plus interviews with Charles Bernstein, Marilyn Hacker and Yusef Komunyakaa. Additionally, The Wolf features contemporary art work with an artist-in-residence in each issue, printing a centrefold of original work. Recently Reem Yassouf and Marcela Ramirez-Aza have published prints of their paintings in the magazine.
The Wolf magazine was, in 2008, given the support of the Arts Council, England. In 2010 it became fully independent again, relying entirely upon subscriptions.
