“I first discovered Morgan’s work when a close friend of mine printed out a part of her poem on a card and sent it to me: You are wrapped in endless, boundless, grace. Morgan had distilled a biblical truth into something clear, profound, and eternally uplifting. I knew there and then that I had to work with her.
