Thank you to everyone who submitted work for the spring 2025 OFFERINGS issue of Blue Heron Review! All response letters have been sent out now. We received such a beautiful, heartfelt array of poems for this special issue. If one of your poems was not chosen, please know that we received a very high number of high-quality poems and could not offer a spot to everyone. Know that your work was read with great care and attention. Our spring issue is due to be published online in mid-late May 2025. An announcement and link will be posted on the BHR website and on social media at that time.

Spring offers a time of new beginnings. I hope you embark on a new writing project that inspires you!

Happy writing!
