The Rattle Anthology of Children’s Poetry
Deadline: September 15th

This is a new project that we’ve just started, which will be an annual (and separate) print anthology of poems written by children. There are numerous anthologies available of adult poets writing for children, but very few opportunities for children to share their work with adults. As Sharon Olds said in our interview a few years back: “There’s not a bad poet in first grade. None of them are anything but fresh and original … they don’t know how to avoid being original.” We’ve already found this to be true with the dozen or so amazing poems that we’ve accepted for the first publication so far, and we’re excited to keep exploring what young poets can teach us.

And of course this is a great opportunity to encourage children to engage in art from an early age. So if you know of any young poets—ages 15 and younger—have their parent/guardian send us some of their work. And please help us spread the word. The full guidelines are here (note the unique email address):
