MASSACHUSETTS BOOK LAUNCH FOR

GIRLDOM by Megan Peak

 WINNER OF THE 2018 PERUGIA PRESS PRIZE


Megan Peak reading from her already dog-eared author copy of Girldom at Westfield State University during her Massachusetts book launch earlier this month. Check out our website for future events featuring Peak and all our poets.

 
 
 
 
Girldom is already garnering praise in the press! Thanks to Katy Dycus for this reading of Girldom, featured on the Wild Detectives Bookstore site, where Megan Peak will be reading today, November 14. Regarding one of Peak's poems, Dycus writes, "If there are so many ways of being emptied, are there equally as many ways of being filled up again? Each person gets to decide how to regain fullness. Poems, like photographs, with their edges as boundaries, are great at showing just enough information to make meaning possible. And that’s precisely what Peak gives us in Girldomjust enough to make meaning possible."
