There\u2019s only one editor here, one person whose taste determines what gets into the <em>RAR<\/em>, and if you don\u2019t like my taste, I don\u2019t give a rat\u2019s ass. Go someplace else for your poetry dose. (I don\u2019t really think that makes me different from all the millions of others with online poetry zines, but I\u2019m willing to admit it.)<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&#8220;But you\u2019re here to find out what to send me so that you can partake of the glory that is <em>Rat\u2019s Ass Review<\/em>. And I\u2019ll tell you. Send me your best poetry. I don\u2019t particularly care whether it\u2019s formal or informal, metrical or free verse, rhyming or not. I\u2019ve written all those possibilities myself. A good poem isn\u2019t one that gets the grades for following particular rules. And I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll reject plenty of good poems anyway. I\u2019m not even sure I\u2019m looking for good poems. I\u2019m looking for my kind of poems.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&#8220;Now we\u2019re getting to it. What is my kind of poem? My favorite poets are Richard Wilbur and Elizabeth Bishop and W. H. Auden and Edna St. Vincent Millay and W. B. Yeats and Robert Hayden and a bunch of others who don\u2019t have much in common.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&#8220;What they do have in common is that, if you read their best poetry carefully, you will understand something about what\u2019s going on the first time you read it. You will get a lot more out of each poem the more you read it, but you don\u2019t have to study it to get the first level of enjoyment. It isn\u2019t work. You don\u2019t have to tie the poem to a chair and beat it with a hose (apologies to Billy Collins).<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&#8220;I do want to see something going on beyond the surface, so that I can read the poem over and over and still get pleasure from it. But I need that surface pleasure. I\u2019m not a great thinker about poetry, and I need my immediate gratification.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&#8220;And what don\u2019t I want to see? Well, I have my own prejudices, after all. I am not much interested in poetry about God, unless you are Alicia Ostriker or Mark Jarman and are wrestling with God in an interesting way. If you are a young poet with angst, I\u2019ve been there and done that, and I don\u2019t see any need to put it into my journal. I\u2019m not interested in how evil any person or group of persons is. If you must write about Saddam Hussein or Dick Cheney, show me his warm, charming side. If you are impelled to write about the evils of the political left, take it to someone who agrees with you.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&#8220;And don\u2019t send me anything I\u2019ve seen a thousand times before. Send me the poem that no one but you, in the entire history of poetry, could have written.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&#8220;Send me as many as five poems. I\u2019ll get to them when I can. We have three levels of form rejection letters: insulting, regular, and encouraging. You\u2019ll be able to tell which one you get. If you aren\u2019t rejected, you\u2019ll get the glory of having your work posted on this site, and nothing else; you\u2019ll give up first electronic publication rights, and nothing else. If I remember, I\u2019ll register the copyrights as a compilation.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&#8220;If you want to send me a translation, it\u2019s up to you to clear the rights to the original.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&#8220;I\u2019m a writer too, so I understand about your not wanting to tie up your work in one place for a long time. I try to answer within a week, and unless you state otherwise, I\u2019ll assume it\u2019s a simultaneous submission.&#8221;<br \/>\n&nbsp;\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000cd;\"> <\/span><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nSo wrote founding editor David M. Harris in 2009 when he launched Rat&#8217;s Ass Review. In early 2015 the editorship changed hands, but David&#8217;s vision remains the guiding sensibility of the journal. To David\u2019s list of poets I would add Mary Oliver and Anne Sexton and Patricia Fargnoli and Pam Bernard and Alexis Rhone Fancher, and I hereby confirm that RAR\u2019s selection policy will remain idiosyncratic and wholly subjective.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nYou are free to disregard any or all of these guidelines, but you do so at your own peril. If, for example, you choose to submit a poem about God, understand that you have dug yourself a hole, and are now trying to throw your work over a barrier which you have chosen to make higher.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAs stated above in the short version, <strong>To submit:<\/strong> send up to five poems as a doc or docx file to ratsassreview@gmail.com.

We will work to bring our poets to the attention of literary critics and anthologists and onto the desks of award committees. We believe that your success is our success, and, if your work is accepted here, we want to be your best cheerleaders.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nEffective with the publication of our Summer 2015 issue, we established a forum for our contributing poets to participate in an ongoing on-line workshop, where they can submit draft poems and get feedback from other Rat&#8217;s Ass Review poets. In February of 2023 we added a second workshop to accommodate the number of poets interested in participating.  If you are published with us, you will have the option to join them. The workshops are free and very active.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAgain, to submit, email up to five poems to ratsassreview@gmail.com.<a id=\"Art\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nRoderick Bates, Editor<br \/>\nRat&#8217;s Ass Review<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<header class=\"entry-header\">\n<h3><strong>Seeking cover art (and other art)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Rat\u2019s Ass Review is looking for original artwork for our covers, and possibly for inclusion in the body of the issue itself. We are historically an online journal, but as of late 2023 we do have a print presence. We may also use our cover art on items as t-shirts and coffee mugs. All we can offer for remuneration for your creativity and effort is an appreciative platform, careful attribution of your work, and cheerful promotion of you and your work. Submit a jpeg image of your original art, which you certify is your own original work, and which has not appeared in print or online before.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Art submissions are open all year. <\/strong>Although we work hard to make decisions on poems within a few days of receipt, we will necessarily be slower with cover art. Since we only select two images each year, you may wait up to six months to hear from us about your image. If and when it becomes clear that an image is not a good fit for Rat\u2019s Ass Review, I will let the artist know. In no case should an artist have to wait longer than six months to hear back. If you wish to minimize the time that your art is languishing at RAR while the editor ponders, you can time your submission to arrive in the latter part of the submission period, which would be either mid-January, or mid-July. \/RB.<a id=\"Review\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nTo submit, email up to ten images to ratsassreview@gmail.com.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nBack to <a href=\"#Top\">Top of Page<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<header class=\"entry-header\">\n<h3><strong>Seeking Poetry Reviews<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Review submissions are open all year. <\/strong>Although unsolicited submissions will be read carefully and thoughtfully, we suggest that anyone considering writing a review send us an inquiry letter before embarking on the task.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThere is no prescribed minimum or maximum word count for reviews published in RAR, but we would suggest 500 words or thereabouts as reasonable.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nWe ask that you provide a copy of the work you are reviewing along with your review. A pdf or other electronic file will suffice. If the work exists only in print, inform us of this in your inquiry letter, and we can arrange for you to send it to us.<br \/>\n &nbsp;<br \/>\nAlthough we expect most reviews to be of recent publications, we are open to thoughtful essays on classic poets and their work, provided that they offer something new for our readers to consider.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nWe are not particularly interesting in a puff piece on your best friend&#8217;s self-published epic poem about the struggles of a young poet (we have sat through that one already, thank you very much).<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nWe are also not eager to read screeds about works which you deem to be beyond the pale. If they are truly bad, they will sink on their own. If the issue is simply that they offend you, we suggest you take the matter up with your therapist, your priest, or your bartender. There is enough venom out there without our soliciting it or adding to it.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nBut, if you have discovered a new work of poetry which you feel merits analysis and which you want to bring to the attention of an audience of serious poets and lovers of poetry, then we may be the venue you are looking for.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>The Humor Override<\/strong> Of course none of the above applies if the review is sufficiently amusing.
