Dear Friends,
On Thanksgiving, I give thanks to all of you; your response to my work on this site continually renews me.
My deepest thanks to all of you who pre-ordered copies of NOTEBOOKS FROM MYSTERY SCHOOL; please know that your orders during this pre-sale period through December 26th are truly making a big difference in the print run and success of this book. Your generosity and faith in my work have humbled me.
At this time of year, we take stock; we give thanks for all that sustains us.
You sustain me. You have my deepest gratitude.
There
were no meadows near, but still I knew
myself to be a part of meadows, their dirt was in my hair,
no matter where they were I did not have
to be separate from them,
their open-ness, their vastness, their big-heartedness
were all mine.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
NOTEBOOKS FROM MYSTERY SCHOOL by
Margaret McCarthy
Poetry Chapbook; 24 pages
A
coming of age journey told through poems; our rites of passage, with nature as our
greatest school.
A journey through shadow and light, arriving at the ultimate destination: the
balance of opposites.
"…you
yearn to follow into the labyrinthine mystic depths of these luxurious poems."
--Richard Peabody, editor Gargoyle Magazine
"McCarthy's
photographic eye captures the remarkable beauty and resilience that carry us
through the sorrows
and mysteries of our days."
—Michele
Wolf, author of Immersion and Conversations During
Sleep
"With the eye of a
feminist, she asks what if, instead, it had been Icarus's sister? Would she know
how far to go? In her first collection, NOTEBOOKS FROM MYSTERY SCHOOL,
McCarthy shows
us that yes, she knows."
- Susana
