Once again, here’s how our review process works:  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.

To request any of these books, just write to:
