Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Segal, Morgan Morgan’s Voice Poems & Stories ISBN 0-9G62027-0-8 First Edition 1997 Designed by Riley Smith Printed in the United States of America by Pacific Rim Printers/Mailers 11924 W. Washington Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90066 Printed on acid-free, recycled paper. The gift of sharing so intimately in Morgan’s life, through her prose and poetry, is one all will commit to their hearts. Here are remembrances, emotionally inspired, of personal journeys through a landscape of experience that has been both tranquil and turbulent. Her poems are “pearls dancing,” shimmering like her own life in an all too brief sunlight; her stories portraits, at times fragile, at times triumphant in their will to witness lasting humaness. She is truly a talent and a presence too soon lost. -James Ragan, Poet Director, Professional Writing Program University of Southern California Morgan possessed a rare and beautiful soul. Those wide brown eyes of hers shone forth with a child’s curiosity and innocence. But her heart was the heart of woman who was haunted by unfathomable darkness. Morgan’s words are infused with depth, wisdom, honesty, courage and insight. Her descriptions reveal the intense thirst she had for even the most mundane aspects of life — a fingernail, the scale of a fish, a grandfather’s breath, a strand of hair. The attention she pays to details can help us to return to our lives with a renewed revereance for all the subtle miracles that surround us each moment.
