Crisis Chronicles Press is thrilled to announce the publication of Meg Harris' highly anticipated poetry chapbook, Inquiry into Loneliness, on 17 September 2017.
"Meg Harris gives us snapshots into a wildly imagined
ordinary universe with rich metaphor turning everything she touches into an
extraordinary occurrence. In Inquiry into Loneliness, 'the
wind has winter in its mouth' and 'the stars fly / from
fingertips.' Linger on each page for a glimpse into a beautiful and
mystical world."
—Amy King, author of The Missing Museum

"In Inquiry into
Loneliness, Meg Harris regards the divine like a lover, noting even its
smallest incarnations, overlooking nothing. In a somber funeral notice for a
sandpiper, we are reminded of our own human inconsequence, yet the world is
constant magic. Stars are 'mercury rolling,' a child’s newborn skull bears the
imprint of the place it was first loved. These poems are generous and
welcoming, even of pain’s inevitability. Meg Harris says yes, 'Yes to divine intervention / Divine anything.'"
—Leslie McGrath, author of Out from the
Pleiades
