A weekly livestreaming open mic for all of your news poems. Every week, Rattle receives hundreds of submissions for our Poets Respond series, but we're only able to publish one or two of them. This is an opportunity to share more as we gather around and explore current events through poetry. The best way to participate is to send Tim a chat message over Skype during the show at "rattlepoetry." You can also call the phone number shown during the show. Let it ring a few times, then hang up, and he'll call you back. Space is limited, so we'll just be choosing guests at in the order received from those who try to connect. The broadcast is on a 30 second delay, so be prepared to receive a phone call with no warning, and be sure to turn off or mute your video stream when you answer. Please note that the poems you share will be shown livestreamed video on Facebook, YouTube, and Periscope and then archived there, so only share poems you want saved in this format. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Uy_fCuy9LY
