GOOSEFLESH is the first collection of poems by author Emma Morgan, who came out of the closet both as a lesbian and a poet simultaneously ten years ago at the age of twenty-one. Her poetry deals both with universal themes of love, loss, sexuality, coming of age and human rights, as well as themes specific to Morgan's childhood and the personal beliefs and truths gleaned from there. Published and reprinted in 1993, the book is out-of-print since Clothespin Fever Press closed its doors. All remaining copies are now available through Echolalia Press. | |||

But this is before you realize it is the only way she could write." ---Julie Blackwomon "Here is a poet with a distinct voice who succeeds in combining lyric grace with elegant and powerful images. For example: "I went walking down the street
Additionally, her 5-page poem, 'New Year's Revolution: a Rosh Hashanah
Chronology' is wonderfully innovative." --A. Molloy | |||
