About the Author

Megha Shah is an Indian American who immigrated with her family from Mumbai, India to the United States in the early 1970's. After living a few years in Baltimore, the family moved to beautiful Southern California, a place which she still calls home.

Being surrounded by the grandeur and splendor of mountains and glorious California coast, Megha was always drawn to nature. After being introduced to poetry in elementary school, she was inspired to write about the beauty around her. By the time she reached high school, she was writing regularly and as she pursued her education, the college experience led her to more poetry and she truly developed her sense of self. She would carry a satchel of poetry journals and managed to fill quite a few, only now she was also writing through her understanding of relationships and love. Even as she completed her BS in Biology and MA in Education (UC Riverside), she continued to write and found time to participate in poetry readings and developed a chapbook of her own work. Many of the poems featured in "the most wondrous of things" are from that time.

In the years that followed college, marriage, a relocation to Texas, and the arrival of two beautiful children kept Megha busy. She took a hiatus from writing and soon found that she felt lost. Time progressed and once her children entered school, she began to write once again. Poems from her newer work are also weaved into "the most wondrous of things". She is currently a public high school educator, and preserves her peace through writing and reading. Now, with the encouragement and support of those close to her, she is finally pursuing her dream to publish and share her deep and highly guarded thoughts on love, nature, and life. Megha's poetry inspires readers to achieve a higher love.
