    “Book Descriptions: Rattle Poetry Prize

    The Winter 2023 issue features our 11 Rattle Poetry Prize winners, including the 1st prize poem, “Time Travel for Beginners” by Ardon Shorr. The finalists this year include three sonnets and two longer narrative poems that are sure to make you feel. The open section takes us through emergency rooms to dating profiles, with sloppy haiku and Jenga along the way.

    The conversation section explores the intersection of meter and magic with “Poetry Witch” Annie Finch. Annie’s mission is to restore our interest in all five meters, beyond the standard iambics, while reconnecting our spirits to the body and the earth. We talk about it all in a fascinating discussion about the deep history of poetry and humanity.
