Bøger af Lauren Camp

We all have thoughts that may never see the light of day. They are the secrets that will keep us sick. They are the salt in our wounds, & until we release them, they will hold us captive. Help somebody. Free yourself.

The poems in WORN SMOOTH BETWEEN DEVOURINGS travel through fears of ecological devastation and national and global tragedy, and map routes away from despair. Worry remains in the background, even in landscapes that still hold time's beginning. Even in long love. "We are suspended in places / entire and different and home," Camp writes. These precise, sonically-driven poems investigate a confessed gaze for contentment with the conviction of quiet rebellion. Through repeating distance, multiplying birds and crisscrossing storylines, they offer a testament to land and lack, grief, faith, and endurance.

In playful and pointed language, poet Lauren Camp draws upon nature, music, dreams, and current events to illustrate how to gain ones place in the world.
