WINNER OF THE 2025 LAWRENCE O'SHAUGHNESSY AWARD*
Morgan's third full-length collection "Blood Atlas" is new in 2025 from Arlen House, who are celebrating their 50th anniversary in publishing.
Blood Atlas is an odyssey through lineage, legacy and language. Journeying from lands as far as Kathmandu to the poet’s hometown of Oughterard, County Galway, Blood Atlas is an exploration not only of ancestry, but the universe inside the human body.
More information on Morgan's previous collections, "Honest Walls" (2016) and "Beast" (2022) is available to view here.
