Welcome to Issue #7, our Winter 2017 collection of poetry and art for Blue Heron Review!

It is such a pleasure to read submissions for Blue Heron and to reach out to talented artists to contribute to our issues. Each offering of poetry and art provides a resting place for our readers to pause, reflect, meditate, and refresh the spirit.

I hope that you will enjoy this issue as much as I have enjoyed being the curator. Let Blue Heron be your sanctuary, when you need to take a deep breath and infuse your life with creative energy.

Visit the BLUE HERON REVIEW ISSUE 7 WINTER 2017 page of our site, and dive right in!

With kind wishes,
