A NOTE FROM THE CO-EDITORS AND CO-FOUNDERS

Welcome to this fifth issue of Auroras & Blossoms Poetry Journal!

A year ago, the first issue of our poetry journal was released, officially marking the beginning of a beautiful journey. At the time, we had no idea whether a publication solely focusing on positivity and inspiration would ever take off.

As months went by and our platform grew, you kept responding with an increasing number of amazing submissions. We cannot thank you enough for believing in Auroras & Blossoms as much as we do!

Once again, we have an issue jam packed with great content for you. Our featured poets include Margarita Serafimova, Joanna Rawnsley, B B Randhawa, David Somerset, Heather Joy, Emily Craig, Holly Goslin, Alex Andy Phuong, John Grey, and Gregory E. Lucas. In our new Children’s Poetry Section, which is dedicated to both children’s poetry writers and 13-16 year-old poets, you will find a beautiful piece from Parthvi Singh.

The issue would not be complete without our Haiku-Interview with Luisa Key Reyes,

Cendrine’s Sixku and social media tips, as well as David’s recommended writing tool. Finally, in the last pages of this issue, we share some of our latest news.

Thank you for joining us. We look forward to reading your comments and sharing your inspirational poetic gems with the world!
