    The poems in The Dark's Humming find countless ways to settle in your bones, and then in the deepest parts of the psyche. In this collection, poet Megan Merchant, exquisitely brings us to the ledge of ourselves, in intricate ways. There are resonant poems about the delicate and remarkable journey of motherhood. The poet's images and language show us how to walk carefully among the realities of our own shadows. The works guide us to the undiscovered rooms of our own stories, and how to find the symphonies within. Merchant finds ways to intertwine the complexities of mother earth to those tied to her own relationship with her children and her family. We are taken to lilacs in a flood, to birds and branches and the "just tilled earth." By immersing yourself in these poems, you will be "diligent in keeping your body's promise./The only thing it could reasonably desire would be to stay filled." -- Connie Post Poet Laureate Emerita of Livermore, CA 2005 to 2009 Author of Floodwater, winner of the 2014 Lyrebird Prize

    "Megan Merchant's Grief Flowers exposes with unsettling accuracy what loss would look like if we could subject it to an x-ray or place it under a microscope; its irregular divisions, its unforeseen growth, its pain emanating from ever-shifting and unpredictable locations. These poems are most alive and present in their absence, in the spaces Merchant skillfully creates between what we are grateful for, what we will never have, and what we have lost. Through language delicious and disruptive, the body and its many failings are compared to the natural world--how it protects and betrays us, nurtures us with hope and herniates our hearts at the turn of seasons, kills its leaves and splits its trees: '... the botanist said the seeds will sprout, but might / never bloom', the author discloses when trying for another child, before the title poem grieves another baby's loss while still inside its mother: "I know already, if it does not pass-- / slip into the toilet to be flushed, / they will lace my veins with a syringe /of dreams and clean house." What we know of the unspeakable nature of grief is made manifest in this collection, and laces our veins with visions of what we cannot conjure in our own lives. --Amy Strauss Friedman, author of Gathered Bones are Known to Wander and the forthcoming The Eggshell Skull Rule

    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.

    YOU WANT A STORY OF PROGRESS, BUT IT'S FALL.In her fourth collection, celebrated poet and author Megan Merchant uses the natural world as her canvas, mapping the abstract shape of the American social consciousness onto a wintry landscape of marriage, motherhood, and grief.Suffused with autumnal decay and the silent promise of snow, Merchant’s collection serves as a powerful distillation of the ageless themes of memory and loss.
