WINNER OF THE NEW MEXICO BOOK AWARD

In Old Sky

Grand Canyon Conservancy, 2024

A poetry collection focused on the expansive perspective of deep time

“Camp takes us along for the journey as Grand Canyon’s night skies transform her before our very eyes in poetic styles that are prophetic, surreal, bravely human. No poet I have ever read has approached the impossible task with such beauty, maturity, and respect.’

— Rader Lane, Dark Skies Ranger
Grand Canyon National Park

“Camp’s poems show how observing is not always passive. [...] Her attentive observation takes the form of literal field work at times.”

— Psaltery & Lyre
