Forthcoming Issue

Open Poetry

Conversation with
Lester Graves Lennon

 

Rattle #50

Rattle #50 is entirely open issue, and once again the poets sing as they explore the complexities of contemporary life from every angle. Atheists pray, particles entangle, and hummingbirds philosophize drunkenly. Issue #50 is a kind of anniversary, and we celebrate with our best collection of poetry yet.

The winter issue also features the 2015 Rattle Poetry Prize winner, Tiana Clark’s $10,000 poem “Equilibrium,” along with the ten finalists. And as always, subscribers may vote for the runner up.

In the conversations section, Alan Fox discusses poetry and life with investment banker, poet, and creator of the Lennon lyric, Lester Graves Lennon.

Ships December 1st!
