Drowning in the Floating World is Out TODAY!
I am excited to announce that my latest book Drowning in the Floating World is out today! You can order it with my publisher Press 53, Amazon, or my local bookstore Politics and Prose.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this book: everyone who read poems in earlier states and gave feedback, who believed in what I was writing, who published these individual poems, or just shared a kind word. Writing a book takes a village, and I’m just so humbled and grateful for everyone who has helped me along the way.
If you’ve read the book, I’d greatly appreciate if you could share your review on Amazon, Goodreads, or wherever else you like to talk about books. These can greatly help with visibility of the book.

Share about it on social media (please tag @confusednarwhal (twitter) or meden_author (Instagram) and @Press53)
Post about it on Facebook (My page: @megedenwritespoems)
Request it be purchased by your library
Consider purchasing the book for yourself or for gifts
Check out my upcoming events and come say hello! http://www.megedenbooks.com/events
To celebrate the release, SimplyAllyTea is also hosting a giveaway of a FREE arc of Drowning in the Floating World. It’s very easy to enter, and every entry helps promote the book–so it’s a win for everyone! To enter, follow the link to the Rafflecopter below:

Writing and Instructor Resources
Writers! Writing instructors! I am excited to announce that I now have some resources for DROWNING on my website, including writing prompts, lesson ideas, and supplemental research to integrate studying 3/11 in your classes!
Researching the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and Fukushima powerplant disaster, as well as Japanese mythology and culture at large, brought me to some really rich and incredible resources. Here, I’ve tried to catalogue some of the resources that inspired this book: videos, images, articles, movies, databases and more. While many of these are listed inside the physical book, this digital resource allows readers to more easily navigate between sources—I also included some new ones, as well as some concrete writing prompts for writers and instructors to give a spin. I encourage you to explore these resources for yourself, or to use them in a classroom as a supplemental resource to the text. I’d love to hear how you end up using these resources!
