Rattle Poetry Prize

Conversation with
Dean Radin

The Winter 2024 issue features our 11 Rattle Poetry Prize winners, including the 1st prize poem, “Among Other Things” by Arthur Russell. The finalists this year include a traditional sonnet, a performance poem, and more humor than we’ve had in years. Subscribers will decide the contest’s runner-up in our Readers’ Choice Award.

The issue also includes a mind-bending conversation with parapsychologist Dean Radin about the far reaches of human creativity. Can poems see the future? Can poems change the future? We explore those questions with the world’s leading researchers of “real magic.”
