If you’d like to review any of these books or literary journals (or any from the full list), let us know, and we’ll mail it to you. Write a review of at least 600 words, and if we publish it, we’ll also send you the forthcoming copy or any back issue of Rattle as payment. Free books and a free magazine, just for doing a bit of service to the good of poetry.

Short list this month, but we still have well-over 100 review copies looking for homes, so don’t hesitate to ask for several books at once.
