A few days ago, our favorite international subscriber — and past contributor of a particularly gruesome sonnet — suggested that we add a search function to Rattle.com. Your wish is my command. Check it out.
I’m working giving each page a unique and meaningful name, so all the search results won’t just be titled “Rattle: Poetry for the 21st Century”. Hopefully Google’s web-bots will notice the new names soon, but it still works. So if you’re looking for a particular poem, say something by Li-Young Lee, just type his name in and look him up. Want a poem about love? Hate? Indifference? It’s like the Hallmark store, only the cheesiness won’t make you vomit.
This seems like a nice time to mention again — if you’ve got any suggestions, hit me with them. Maybe more than any other magazine in the world, poetry or otherwise, we’re listening. What else am I going to spend my time fiddling with? So whatever you want, just leave a comment. Anonymous suggestions are welcome, too, even if you just want to say, “stop publishing crappy poems.”
