COG Literary Award, Winner
“Winner Megan Merchant's poetry has the sudden fall into dream, tenderness, awakenings and delicate and crystalline images - the tone and lines are just right and seem to be in the language of a forest at night and the unseen eye in the wave."
“Go somewhere. Do something. If you don't have a life, how are you going to tell a story about one?"
--U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera
