Inquiry into Loneliness

By Meg Harris

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. ISBN: 978-1-940996-45-5. Dimensions 5.5 x 8.5". Perfect bound.
