A hand holds up a literary journal Rattle & companion issue Poets Respond with a background of a southeast Alaskan low tide beach. Pacific Ocean is calm and islands in background. The sky is partly sunny with scattered fluffy clouds in the early morning light.

Food for the soul! Rattle’s “food” issue arrived on my small Alaskan island. It’s a delicious issue!🍴 Plus, reading the bonus Poets Respond have made the stormy rainforest spring more bearable. @rattlepoetry.bsky.social

A hand on the left side of the photo opens a literary journal to show the page “Contributor Notes”. Beneath the book is a notebook & a blue pen.

Rattle journal cover is a blue & green iceberg painting showing how deceiving an iceberg can be with the small part on the top & the large underside beneath the surface. This idea is often used to illustrate Indigenous knowledge.

Contributor Notes should be the norm in lit journals. Today, I read through some of these in Rattle & soon I didn’t feel alone despite living on a small island in Alaska in winter. ❄️
