Megan Merchant is a Prescott resident and holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from UNLV. She is a multi-year Pushcart Prize nominee, and her poem, "Filling Station God" won the Las Vegas Poets Prize, judged by Tony Hoagland. Her second full-length collection,"The Dark's Humming" was the winner of the 2015 Lyrebird Prize (Glass Lyre Press, 2017).She is also the author of four chapbooks: Translucent, sealed. (Dancing Girl Press, 2015), In the Rooms of a Tiny House (ELJ Publications, October 2016), Unspeakable Light (Throwback Books, August 2016), and A Thousand Paper Cranes (Finishing Line Press). Gravel Ghosts is her debut full-length poetry collection through Glass Lyre Press.She also has a children's book forthcoming through Philomel Books.You can find her work at meganmerchant.wix.com/poet.
With two Pushcart Prize Nominated poems included ("How to Fold an Origami Girl" and "Consuming the Wick"), this short but powerful collection leaves its mark. The poems crease and bend at the center of love and loss much like the way a piece of paper is folded over and again to become a crane, a moon, or a lamp. In the process, the reader is invited along, not just as witness, but participant, and leaves changed.
