Magma Intrusions

Poems by Meg Weston. Published by Kelsay Books available now.

Before Magma Intrusions gets underway, Meg Weston defines the meaning of the title along with her obsession with volcanos and traveling the world to witness and be in their presence. The space between local rocks is the magma intrusion found on the coast of Maine where the poet has lived most of her adult life. The poems that follow are imaginative meditations that celebrate self-discovery and purpose. Meg Weston’s voice in every poem is poised and confident as she explores a lifetime of growth and acceptance. Throughout the three sections that comprise the collection, the physical world is always present in every stage of her life along with a constant sense of awe. There is empathy blended with an illuminating grace in these carefully crafted poems that continue in the exquisite silences between every stanza. After reading the entire collection, you will want to read it again and again.
