(“Great Blue Heron” by artist Daniel Adams)
Founded in 2013, Blue Heron Review is an online poetry magazine specializing in mystical and spiritual verse. Blue Heron provides a space for poets who offer a positive message about living fully and engaging with the world through beauty, a sense of community, and acceptance.
Blue Heron strives to promote and feature works that nourish the soul, encourage deep reflection, and support a peaceful life path. Blue Heron poets embrace the concepts of: joy, abundance, grace, love, light, connection, awareness, acceptance, balance, peace, one’s soul path, and spirit in their works. Think, Rumi ~ think, Hafiz!
