Author Description

Product Description <br/>In Nonestica is Morgan Adams's debut chapbook. It was selected for publication from among the entries to the 2012 Accents Publishing Chapbook contest.<br/> Review <br/>The poems in this exhilarating chapbook show up like eccentric cousins at a family reunion held somewhere on the outskirts of Reality. It is a strange family, an order of strangeness that goes with longing and delight, with imagination and love -- a family pretty much like mine or yours. In short, there is much that is lovely to see in this rapt and carefully crafted work. --Maurice Manning, Author of<br/>The Common Man<br/><br/>Morgan Adams' poems, honed from a marvelous and scrupulous attention to the world and word, simultaneously delight and terrify. In these remarkable poems, the imaginary becomes real and the real, imaginary. Every time I read her poems I am reminded of how enchanted the world is -- how strange, how full of wonder. --Catherine Bowman, Author of<br/>The Plath Cabinet<br/> About the Author <br/>Morgan Adams was born and raised in a bookstore in Lexington, Kentucky and wrote her own first "book" at the age of five.
