Blue Hunger - Subhaga Crystal Bacon

Bacon, Subhaga Crystal: - Subhaga Crystal Bacon is a 1995 graduate of the Warren Wilson MFA Program for Writers with a degree in Poetry. Her first book, Elegy with a Glass of Whiskey, won the 2003 BOA Editions New Poetry America Prize. Since that time, her work has appeared in a variety of print and online journals.

A dramatic shift in consciousness in 2011 brought her into seamless contact with awareness and perception such that she stopped writing for a period of years. Moving to the Methow Valley in 2014 and joining the Confluence Poets reinvigorated her creative process, resulting in many of the poems in this manuscript. She is a teacher in the Trillium Awakening spiritual path and lives and creates in the spacious North Cascade Mountains with her partner, Sugandhi Katharine Barnes.
