[New-Poetry] Rattle's e-issue

We're pleased to release RATTLE's first biannual electronic issue.
The idea started as a simple newsletter, something to fill the six
long months between publication, but it kept growing as we thought of
more content to feature.  We ended up with a full-color pdf that feels
closer to an issue than a letter, so we're calling it that, and plan
to publish one every March and September.

Our intention, as always, is to spread more great poetry, not to flood
inboxes and annoy, and so rather than attach the file, I'm using this
email as a notification.

To download the free pdf , click here (or paste the url into your
browser): http://www.rattle.com/eIssue1a..pdf (870kb)

The issue is 41 pages, and includes a book excerpt from Erik
Campbell's Arguments for Stillness (one of my favorite collections of
poetry), a half-dozen photographs by Hal Bergman, and two e-Reviews.
The second half is a preview of Rattle's winter issue -- five poems
and a portion of Alan Fox's interview with Jane Hirshfield.

As I explain in the introduction, we're trying to provide a broader
venue for poetry than we're able with the print issues -- I hope we've
succeeded, and I hope it proves a fun and enlightening read.  It's
designed to be printed out easily, in color or black and white, or
just read on the computer.

If you have any questions or comments, or if you have trouble
downloading the file, please write back.

When the next E-Issue is ready in March, I might end up just attaching
the pdf.  There's also a chance that we'll send another announcement
or two (though emailing this many people is no small task, so I don't
know how likely that is).

If you'd like to remove yourself from this mailing list at any time,
don't reply to me -- simply send an email to unsubscribe at rattle.com
To add yourself or a new address, email subscribe at rattle.com  And do
tell your friends.

Many thanks, and happy reading,
Tim


ps. If you haven't checked our website recently, you might want to
visit www.rattle.com  We've done a lot of renovation in the last few
months, including a poem of the week feature, an anything-goes online
review section, and a vast page of links to contributor websites.  And
as always, back issues are available online, in their entirety.
Hopefully it's worth bookmarking.
