Grant Quackenbush grew up skateboarding in San Diego. He received his MFA from Boston University and his BA from the University of California, Santa Cruz. His poems have appeared in Rattle 69, 73, and the Ekphrastic Challenge. This is his first book. For more, visit: http://pinyon-publishing.com/offtopic.html As always, we'll also include live open lines for responses to our weekly prompt or any other poems you'd like to share. For details on how to participate, either via Skype or by phone, go to: https://www.rattle.com/rattlecast/ This Week's Prompt: Write a poem about a place you’ve always wanted to visit. Be as specific as you can (i.e., the Louvre rather than just Paris, France.) Next Week's Prompt: Write an echo verse poem by repeating the end syllable of each line, either verbatim or as a rhyme or slant rhyme. Robert Lee Brewer offers excellent examples of this form on the Writer’s Digest website. The Rattlecast livestreams on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, then becomes an audio podcast. Find it on iTunes, Spotify, or anywhere else you get your podcasts.
