“Camp is not only in communion with nature, the divine, and the eternal in this collection but also with the truth about darkness: it is not something to fear. In the dark we truly learn to see ourselves.”

DEVOURINGS
“Wildly original, dense with beauty and startle and riotously rich language, these poems explore their subjects—fire and climate, connection to the land and to one another—with urgency and empathy.”

“These poems are slow and persuasive. They move like the sea, mirror the stillness of the sky, mapping and refining a deep interiority.”
— Diane Seuss

“The poems knew something about me, something I didn’t know, or couldn’t articulate. The poems did the saying, the impossible saying, for me.”
— Kasey Jueds

“Camp writes poems of sensual searching with sumptuous language that tilts the expected askew, suggesting that reorientation is not only necessary but good for us.”
— Todd Davis
