Critique of the Week

NOTE: Submissions to this category are NOT considered for publication. There is no entry fee or payment for participating. 

This is the entry portal for our monthly Critique of the Week. Every Friday at 4pm ET, Rattle's editor hosts a livestreamed poetry critique on YouTube and Facebook, offering suggestions and feedback. The viewing audience is encouraged to participate. The goal is to help us all become better poets through the honest sharing of our reactions, similar to the experience of an MFA roundtable workshop. Be sure to follow us on Facebook or subscribe on YouTube so that you don't miss the weekly critique. 

Most often, I will ask live viewers if they have any poems in the submission queue and workshop those, so become a regular viewer and participate in the YouTube chat to have the best chance at being chosen. 

Include two poems to be critiqued with your entry here, but if you'd like to change them after you are chosen, feel free to withdraw and resubmt. 

Note that videos will remain archived and viewable by the public.
