RATTLE #27 - Summer 2007 - Tribute to Slam

What kind of blog would this be if I didn’t mention the stellar new issue of RATTLE?

Issue #27 is hot off the press, and features a tribute to Slam Poetry, including a full-length audio CD of performance poems. Alan Fox interviews Slam founder Marc Kelly Smith, and four-time NPS champion Patricia Smith. Contributing editor and slam-insider Dr. Susan B.A. Sommers-Willett provides an introductory essay. All this, plus 63 new page poems, and the cover price is still just $10 — less than the typical price of a CD, and it comes with a 200 page book!

Sorry for the exclamation point, but I’m excited. Here’s the list of contributors:
