Shauna M. Morgan's Ground Provisions

I am pleased to feature Jamaican poet, Shauna M. Morgan. Shauna grew up in Clarendon, Jamaica and her debut poetry collection, Ground Provisions, was published by Peepal Tree Press in November 2025. Morgan is an Associate Professor and Creative Writing Division Director at the University of Kentucky. Her work has appeared in several periodicals and anthologies, and she has been awarded the Catherine James Palmer Poetry Prize.

Ground Provisions was recently shortlisted for the 2026 Jerwood Prize for Best First Collection. For more on the collection, and Shauna's writings, see the link below:
