Tribute to Underground Writers

Conversations with
Billy Collins & Jack Grapes

 

Releasing June 2001, issue #15 celebrates the work of 18 underground writers–poets who have a large publishing history outside of the mainstream.

Also in this once sold-out issue but now returned, Alan Fox interviews fan-favorite Billy Collins and Jack Grapes, the Los Angeles writer and teacher who had a hand in the original creation of Rattle itself.
