Elizabeth J. Coleman's Mega-Galaxies considers both the vastness and smallness of what surrounds us, from our communities to the larger natural world. 
"From a street-corner bodega to the Serengeti Plain to the 'bell-jazz of our galaxy,' these poems find meaning in all spaces. I appreciated these poems for their steady voice, precision, and how they often quietly wrestle with big questions of the human spirit. Chapbooks might be 'small' by definition, but this collection feels rich and expansive; the contents of Mega-Galaxies push us toward something vast and infinite."

- Matthew Olzmann, author of Constellation Route
