Catch & Release

"Eloquent and gutsy, Lauren Crawford's poems are intimate and unsettling. She writes, 'I am here to survive' as she evidences her resilience while 'pining always for release' and speaking 'death's language.' Her originality is unquestionable. Her poems are infused with untethered energy and art. Few young poets are so gifted and sagacious."

-Susan Kinsolving, National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist
