Margaret A. Harrell is the author of 8 books, published in Romania by the Hermann Press and Saeculum University Press, located in the "Lucian Blaga" University in Transilvania, during the period she lived in Belgium. Initially participating in an international poetry festival originating in Belgium, but taking place in Romania in that year, she contracted to be published beginning 1996. The books published since that time were in rapid pace, because she had been writing the Love in Transition series since 1965, while living in New York City, in Greenwich Village. Ms. Harrell is listed in many international biographies, including Who's Who in the World, Who's Who in the United States, and dictionaries of leading intellectuals as well as Barons' 500 Great Minds of the Early 21st Century.
A dual national, having traveled widely and lived on three continents, she brings a broad outlook and far-reaching experience to her writings on consciousness. Some materials are published in the Exceptional Human Experience Network of Rhea A. White. Other background she brings into her work are three years' study at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich.
Love in Transition: Voyage of Ulysses--Letters to Penelope began as a fiction account, which included a nonfiction character, loosely modeled on Milton Klonsky, the New York City poet. When he died the material took on a real-life aspect, because the death was preceded by dreams. Such a situation is prevalent in the descriptions of "shadow of death" in Carl Jung. The Love in Transition series eventually became 7 books. A sub-series, Space Encounters: Chunking Down the 21st Century, sprang out of it and comprises the most recent three Love in Transition volumes. These are coffee table size (A4), with artistic covers, including inside special scans based on nonprogrammed computer printouts reframing some of the text. Such a type of nonprogrammed print out occurred during the 90s in Belgium and brought into even sharper spotlight the rather famous photo of Ms. Harrell, decades earlier, with J. B. Rhine.
To break into the US market, since her return to US soil in 2001, to live in Raleigh, NC, Ms. Harrell created a book that is one half experimental cloud-photography (in startlingly beautiful colors and rare detail) combined with extracts from the entire Love in Transition series, brought together under an umbrella of a philosophy of perception. This book, Toward a Philosophy of Perception: The Magnitude of Human Potential - Cloud Optics, was given a number of first-class reviews. See www.philosophyofperception.com.
Interests: Subtle cloud photography, using experimental photographic techniques. These photos are the basis for professionally designed covers by outside designers. They also will be a large part of my up-coming US-published book.
