Rattle is a quarterly poetry magazine founded in 1994, published in Los Angeles in the United States.[1][2][3]
It publishes poems both by established writers, such as Philip Levine, Jane Hirshfield, Billy Collins, Sharon Olds, Gregory Orr, Patricia Smith, and Anis Mojgani, and by new and emerging poets. Poems from the magazine have been reprinted in The Best American Poetry[4] and Pushcart Prize[5] anthologies.
Each issue is themed to honour a particular community of poets, such as teachers, slam poets, or, most recently, Los Angeles poets. Interviews with contemporary poets are also a staple. Though primarily dedicated to its print issues, the magazine's website also hosts other material, including audio archives[6] and reviews of contemporary poetry.[7]
The Rattle Chapbook Prize
[edit]The Rattle Chapbook Prize has been awarded annually since 2016. It currently comprises three awards of $5,000, paid to the authors of the best chapbooks submitted.
