Meghan Jones lives in Flagstaff, Arizona with her boyfriend and cat. She is the only child of Anita and Jason Harger, a graduate of English Creative Writing at Northern Arizona University. She self published her first chapbook "The New Black" in 2005, followed quickly by the publication by Destructible Heart Press of "Invisible Driveways" in 2006. She is the 2006 NORAZ poets grand slam champion as well as a 2005 and 2006 NORAZ national poetry slam team member. In early 2007, she won first place in the Curios southwest creative writing contest for poetry. She loves French press coffee, Marshmallow Treasures cereal, daffodils, and old typewriters. She would like to play you at Book Lover's Trival Pursuit sometime.

"While the subject of Meghan's work may mostly appear to be love, I would argue that her true love affair is with Texture: the ways of look, feel, taste, tremor. With a broad and silver butter knife she slaps texture onto the thighs of the poem, between the teeth, behind the ears until the wprds pop and strut."
Lucy Anderton, Artist in Residence, Moulin a Nef, Auvillar, France .

"Taste the flavor of each verse, the after effect of the select verbage, and the delicious aroma of a life placed on page... Meghan Jones is able to take us with her--in the familiar terms and images--that most seem to have overlooked, or simply forgotten. Images given in a way that makes us wish we had paid just a little more attention when they flashed in front of our own eyes just as we blinked."
Dan Seaman, Assistant Executive Director, NORAZ poets, Prescott, AZ.

"I can't think of one of the younger poets we've published more exciting than Meghan Jones. She has a powerful and lucid ability with metaphor. She writes with a feminist lilt reminiscent of Tori Amos in its universality. She represents a growing number of young poets with feet planted firm both in academic and spoken word worlds, and it's our suspicion at Destructible Heart Press that she will emerge in the next 10 years as one of the leading poets that ties us together."
Adam Rubinstein Publisher, Destructible Heart Press, Albuquerque New Mexico.
