Chelan Harkin is a mystical poet whose poems have been shared tens of thousands of times. Her publishing journey is only four years old but her first two books, Susceptible to Light and Let Us Dance!, have been self-publishing successes with sales numbers to be envied by most poets today. Her third book, Wild Grace, published in November 2023 with Monkfish and her most recent The Prophetess was published this September by Hay House.
