Poetry by Shontay Luna

Innocence no
longer genuine,
trapped in the
oil-slick of Modern Life:
ill-stained and murky.

Shontay Luna is a Leo Queen from The City of Big Shoulders and for the longest time, has used words as portals to other worldly realms. Books include ‘Reflections of a Project Girl,’ ‘Recollections & Dreams,’ ‘To James & Sarah with Love – Poetry based on slang from 1920s through 1940s’ and ‘The Goddess Journal – a tool for unlocking the Goddess within every Woman.’ Appearances include ‘Text Power Telling,” “Brittle Paper,” “Flying Island Journal” and “Uut Poetry,” among others. She remains in her native city with her pens, notebooks and Juan Carlos “Juice” Ortiz photo gallery. Find her on IG @shontayluna
