The Last Note Becomes Its Listener was selected as the winner of the first annual Minds on Fire Open Book Prize. This book ruminates on a brother's epilepsy, his disability, how living with the poet's family affects them all, and especially the limits of empathy. Morgan's greatest talent lies in his ability to render the quotidian into the extraordinary with ease and sincerity.
