Blue Heron Review Issue Number One Released Today!

Welcome to the first issue of Blue Heron Review!  To read all of the beautiful poetry and art offerings in this issue, please visit the Blue Heron Review Issue 1 Winter/2014 tab on this website.

I hope you will find poems and images that speak to you this winter, as we gently prepare for spring and come out of hibernation.  The contemplative months of winter allow us to search within and re-connect with the self.  Each poem in this issue, shines a light on all that is sacred about existing in this beautiful world.  Enjoy!
