Rattle: “Tribute to the Future” Issue
Deadline April 15 (must be received by this date). Literary journal Rattle: Poetry for the 21st Century seeks unpublished poems for their Fall 2026 issue on the theme "Tribute to the Future". Send 1-4 poems with a contributor's note about how your work relates to the theme. This is a paying market. Editors say, "Whether speculative, surreal, hopeful, or dire, we're looking for poems that imagine what lies ahead, for the world or the self. The future can be political, ecological, technological, spiritual, or deeply personal. However you interpret the idea, we want to see how poetry can be a vehicle for foresight, fantasy, or reflection on what comes next."
