Best of American Poetry 2004 (edited by Lyn Hejinian). Poems by Anselm Berrigan & Rodrigo Toscano.

"Rattapallax is a vibrant looking new magazine and its sixth issue, edited by Martin Mitchell, formerly editor of Pivot, is its best so far. Whatever way you slice its syllabic curiosity, it's a magazine and a press on the move, thundering into the future." -- Small Press Review

"Rattapallax is one sharp magazine destined to rise to the top of the literary magazine world, and one deserving of readership support. The idea of including a CD of authors reading from the issue is one which surely will be copied by other literary magazines, until it becomes standard practice. Hearing the poems read by the authors somehow elevates them, makes them stand taller, makes us listen more carefully."--Clockwatch Review

The visceral, multimedia hit of poetry.--Timeout, New York

"(Its) first effort lives up to the promise to emulate the music and values of fine poetry of the past, and with stories that have action and events driven by character." --Library Journal

"Twice a year, Rattapallax Press enthralls readers with stunning work of both new and seasoned wordsmiths in its oddly named literary journal, Rattapallax. These volumes, though few and far between, are chuck-full of sumptuous poetry, thought-provoking prose and unusual artwork. However, what makes Rattapallax different from other literary journals is the added dimension of sound. The journal comes with a bonus CD to tide hungry devotees over until the next issue arrives. Poetry junkies can listen along as the poets read their work." --City Paper, Philadelphia

"But as courageous as the poets are, so the journals must be, also (and I do put Rattapallax in this category and so will always pick it up, even when I don’t recognise the man on the cover)." --Cordite

Four Stars -- Folha de S.Paulo

"A number of literary magazines claim a focus on international writing; Rattapallax is one of the few that truly feels like it does." -- NewPages
