“Lauren Camp’s voice is unique among poets writing in the United States today. It can be still and enveloping, then suddenly surprising in its complexity. We read or listen and know both the care of long-nurtured craft and the power of dramatic insight… ample and profound, strong and rewarding.”
— Margaret Randall

“We loved having Lauren in our class. The students really have improved in their writing as well as becoming comfortable in presenting their own poems. At first, students were shy and uncomfortable with reading their poems, but they ended up wanting to share their poems with the class. Thank you.”
— Selina McGinn
English teacher at Espanola Valley High School, NM
“Thank you, Lauren, for your zoom visit to class. It was a rich and comfortable talk. Your insight and encouragement were a treasure for us, and it was a good way to segue into their final projects, a chapbook of their own work.”
— Stan Galloway
Professor of English, Bridgewater College, VA
“I knew the moment I heard you read and talk about your process that I had to learn from you.”
