Still Life

Arts & Literature

“In her debut collection, Megan Huwa invites us into her Still Life which, filled with the specifics of her own experiences, bubbles up a universal desire in us all: that of a life well and fully lived. Huwa’s poems are drenched in the wonder of the mundane—sitting in a coffee shop, drawing landscapes as a child, yearly birthday calls—and are there to remind us that tiny miracles are worth savoring . . . even when the unexpected happens, even when pain is also part of our daily lives. From Colorado to California to another world our eyes are yet to see, this poetry collection will take you on a journey that will remind you of what it means to treasure (as the great Mary Oliver would say) your one wild and precious life.”
