Rattle Young Poets Anthology
The annual RYPA returns for another year of delightful and insightful poetry that happens to be written by young people. As always, this is not a book of poems for children, but the other way around—these are poems written by children for us all, revealing the startling insights that are possible when looking at the world through fresh eyes. This 48-page chapbook is mailed to all Rattle subscribers along with our Summer 2020 issue. Nineteen poets age 15 or younger contributed to this volume, covering topics as serious as suicide and as sweet as sheep. Order your copy and see why the RYPA is always the highlight of our year as publishers.
