Tribute to Prompt Poems
Conversation with
Joseph Fasano
The Fall 2023 issue of Rattle features a tribute to poems written in response to writing prompts. While some write off prompts as mere exercises, for others they’re the key to unlocking creativity and restoring the sense of play with language. The special section includes prompt poems by 16 poets and a conversation with Joseph Fasano, whose popular template prompts have given non-poets their own access to the interior. In the open section, 22 poets familiar and new share a diverse set of powerful poems.
