EARLIER BOOKS: Margaret A. Harrell began writing her "Love in Transition" series in Paris, France. Then returned to New York City to work at Random House, copy editing the first book of notable authors such as Hunter S. Thompson (see his praise for her in 'Gonzo Letters" II), John Irving, etc. She was three times a Fellow at MacDowell Colony for artists. Marrying a Belgian poet, she lived in Morocco and Belgium, then took a sharp turn into spiritual-growth courses. She moved to Zurich for studies at the C. G. Jung Institute (having done undergraduate work at Duke and graduate work at Columbia University). At the Institute, she had a dramatic "Confrontation with the Self," or as Jung termed it in "The Red Book," a "Confrontation with the Unconscious." The "Love in Transition" series burst at the seams to absorb the jolts in consciousness that followed. These included at times a computer that in a form of psychokinesis transformed the look of the page as it was being printed. These "computer art" reshapings of the print were also an exercise in refocusing the writing. Cloud photography (first in dreams) became a major outlet in the 90s and she has exhibited internationally. Though all the books except one were published by a professor in a Romanian university (in English), limited first editions are available on Amazon. Likewise, a US-published book, "Toward a Philosophy of Perception," which has 33 color-cloud photos, as well as "computer PK" images. Always an explorer and experimenter, Margaret uses this creative flair in all the "Love in Transition" books. The most popular of her books before Keep This Quiet! is probably "Marking Time with Faulkner."

5.0 out of 5 stars Web Review partially from Writers' Net, February 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Love in transition: Voyage of Ulysses, letters to Penelope, Vol. I (Perfect Paperback)

There are to date 4 volumes of the Love in Transition series published in English, in Romania - consisting of poetry, essays, even a thread of fiction with a literary story. This is a study in consciousness, which uses examples from history and the present, including the author's own extraordinary experiences. One reviewer (Rhea A. White, Director of the Exceptional Human Experience Network) says of Vol. IV: "This is a nonlinear work. The thread of autobiography dematerializes at points throughout only to rematerialize like roman candles that burst into a myriad of trajectories like stars falling to earth. . . . It also explodes with insights from science and her remarkable intuition." Vol. I centers on New York City-especially some high-profile real people and events there, from which this whole series "took off," in the 60s. Vol. II can be read alone. It involves two couples, one an alter ego of the other. The series has also been described, in Romania: "more than interesting not only because of its experimental aspects, but also for the vibrant and luminous openings that it offers in the psychology of creation and in the hopes-of all time-of poets to reach to an interhuman communication via and beyond words and images."
