Elizabeth J. Coleman's chapbook length poetry collection Mega-Galaxies, selected as winner of the Driftwood Press Adrift Chapbook Prize by Matthew Olzmann, is a lyrical exploration of ageing, community, and the natural world.

Coleman's free verse and musical poems blend scientific research and lived experience in unique and interesting ways.

This collection, in its exploration of life, is tender and full of images, with themes of natural preservation, travel, music, art, religion, and ageing. The speaker travels through spaces, with a focus on New York City, illuminating the beauty of our world and its creatures.

Coleman's voice is wise and prophetic, as she guides us through landscapes, both metaphorical and literal. It is a voice of lived experience, of motherhood looking in the rearview.

Mega-Galaxies travels through the world, even into outer space to show the beauty that we must, as a species, continue to fight for. It is expansive in its linework and themes, containing multitudes in a small package.

Mega-Galaxies is for fans of lyric poetry, ekphrastic poems, religion, science, motherhood poems, and for anyone wanting to explore life's biggest questions.
