Part of the joy of editing SHINE is seeing how poetry from multiple writers around the globe comes together in lock-step. Issue 6 is undeniably cohesive in its sense of growth and renewal. Just days away -- stay tuned!!

I like Samantha Terrell’s poetry for her strong social conscience and sharp, observant commentary on life. Collaborating with Samantha is always a pleasure. She is thoughtful and inspiring to work with. Samantha is EIC of Shine Poetry Quarterly, you can find her on Bluesky: @shinepoetry.bsky.social

Heyo! Three new poems in here, so glad to see them in the light of a new day:

"Water jewels
adorn only briefly.
Buffalo Calf Road Woman
knew what she was about.
What adornment
could possibly add to that?"
