Rattle Poetry Prize

Conversation with
Jimmy Santiago Baca

Rattle #62The Winter 2018 issue of Rattle is as eclectic as ever, featuring a wide range of formal and free verse, haiku, persona poems, carburetors, Kmart, and two separate references to the Antiques Roadshow for some reason.

The issue also features “Turbulence” by Dave Harris, winner of the 2018 Rattle Poetry Prize, and the other ten finalist poems—clearly our best set of prize-winning poems yet. As always, subscribers may vote for their favorite to win the annual Readers’ Choice Award.

In the conversation section, Alan Fox talks politics and poetry with master storyteller Jimmy Santiago Baca. All subscribers will also receive the chapbook To Those Who Were Our First Gods by Nickole Brown.
