Earthshine

About

Each poet has a voice; each poetry journal has a voice. The voice of Earthshine will be one of illumination, compassion, humanity, and reason. We know that it will take some time to get a body of poetry for each issue, but we are patient, and will wait for poems that are of high literary quality—poems we can be proud to publish and which we believe will generate their own light for our readers. There are poems everywhere: in parking lots, in forests, in the twilight, between molecules of water and in the Quick-stop on the corner of your street. If you find one, send it to us. Poems are the ultimate rumination, and if the world is to be saved, the poets will be needed; they who see the connections between all things, and the patterns shared. You don’t think the world can be saved by words? By what, then?
