Rattle Poetry Prize

Conversation with
Iain McGilchrist

The Winter 2022 issue features our 11 Rattle Poetry Prize winners, including the 1st prize poem, “Shoes” by L. Renée. The open section features a rich mix of eclectic poetry, including reader-favorites Ted Kooser and Kwame Dawes, and a heroic crown of sonnets by Anna M. Evans that attempt to bridge our political divides.

The conversation section takes a deep dive into the divided brain with psychiatrist and philosopher Iain McGilchrist, who explains the role the two hemispheres, with their completely unique perspectives on the world, play in creativity. We also discuss how the modern world has come to be dominated by the left hemisphere’s narrow focus and how poetry might be an antidote to “the matter with things.”
