RATTLE is an award-winning poetry magazine based in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 1994, the magazine is published by the Frieda C. Fox Family Foundation. Established writers such as Sam Hamill, Jane Hirshfield, Billy Collins, Alan Shapiro, Gregory Orr, and others have appeared in RATTLE, although the magazine also prides itself on its publication of new and emerging poets. Poems from the magazine have been reprinted in The Best American Poetry and Pushcart: Best of the Small Presses.

According to the magazine’s website:

RATTLE is pretty simple: We love poetry and feel that it's something everyone can enjoy. We look for poems that are accessible, that have heart, that have something to say.

Each issue features a theme honoring a particular community of poets, such as teachers, Slam poets, or, most recently, nurse poets. Interviews with contemporary poets are also a staple of the twice-yearly publication.

Though primarily dedicated to its print issues, the magazine’s website features a variety of supplemental material, such as audio archives, online reviews, and electronic issues.

The RATTLE Poetry Prize, established in 2006, awards $5000 to the best poem submitted, as decided by the magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Editor, and Assistant Editor. Ten $100 honorable mentions are also awarded. All winners also receive publication.
