Rattle #24, Winter 2005

Tribute to Filipino Poets

Releasing December 2005, issue #24 features the work of 14 Filipino poets. The Phillippines is the fifth-largest English-speaking country in the world, and it seemed strange to use that more attention hadn’t been given to Filipino and Filipino-American poets.

Also in the issue, Alan Fox interviews Denise Duhamel and Gregory Orr. In the essay section, four female poets discuss the effects of aging on women writers.
