The poetry journal RATTLE is honoring the 21st birthday of Slam with a special issue to be released June 2007, featuring interviews, essays, and an audio CD of the poetry section performed.Send a recording of up to 5 poems, including a cover letter, the text of the pieces, and a SASE for return of the materials. We would prefer the recordings to be windows-compatible audio files on a CD, but we will also listen to cassette tapes. If no audio is available, feel free to send the text alone, assuming we will be able to arrange audio later. Preference may be given to submissions with higher-quality audio.No poems previously published, or scheduled for publication, in national liteary journals (i.e. those with ISSN or ISBNs). Works already appearing in books, chapbooks, or CDs are fine, as long as you hold their rights.Those published will need to sign a contract granting RATTLE duplication rights on the audio. All other rights revert to the authors upon publication. Payment is two copies of the issue.Send submissions to:RATTLE12411 Ventura BlvdStudio City, CA 91604Deadline for Submissions: February 1st, 2007Visit http://www.rattle.com/slam.php
