Tribute to Musicians

Conversation with
Ani DiFranco

The Fall 2024 issue of Rattle features a Tribute to Musicians. Poetry is the the music of speech. Sonnets are little songs. Ballads walk a line between the two. It’s obvious that music and poetry and intimately intertwined—we explore that relationship through the poems of 19 professional and semi-professional musicians, and a fascinating conversation indie icon Ani DiFranco.

The open section is another eclectic mix of 18 poems, including senryu, haibun, sonnets, and more.
