ISSUE #46
Nationally Acclaimed Rattle Magazine Continues its Monthly Reading Series
at the Flintridge Bookstore & Coffeehouse on February 8th
WHAT:(LA-CAÑADA-FLINTRIDGE, CA; January8th, 2014)—Rattle magazine will host the first installment of the 2015 Rattle Reading SeriesonSunday, February8th. Every second Sunday, Rattlecontinues to gather a selection of performers from around the country for a series of poetry readings to celebratethe magazine.
Rattle’s winter issue is another entirely open free-for-all—we’ve put together another eclectic mix that will make you laugh and sigh in equal measure. Craig van Rooyen makes a god out of Bob Marley, Ron Koertge plagiarizes a prose poem, and Tanya Ko touches you with her honesty. With cameos by Lana Del Rey, Oprah, and Robert Frost, you’ll never know what to expect from one poem to the next, other than that all of them are worth reading again.
The first reading of the fall features three poets from the issue: Los Angeles’s own Tanya Ko, Hannah Gamble of Chicago, Illinois, and James Proffitt from Marblehead, Ohio.
As always, the audience is also encouraged to bring their own poems for an open mic.
WHO: Founded in 1994 by Alan Fox, Rattle magazine operates under the simple premise that it doesn’t take a scholar to be moved by the written word—poetry is for everyone.
