Drunk as a Poet on Payday

Poet Lauren Camp is the author of the new book, Is Is Enough, a collection of poems that face her father’s dementia and the way she and her family are affected by it. Camp is the author of eight previous poetry collections, including In Old Sky, which grew out of her experience as Astronomer-in-Residence at Grand Canyon National Park. As New Mexico Poet Laureate, Lauren Camp created the New Mexico Epic Poem Project, a community-centered, crowd-sourced initiative designed to help people in rural and arts-underserved communities express themselves. Her poems and essays have appeared in many journals and anthologies, including The Nation, Kenyon Review, Prairie Schooner, Orion, Missouri Review, and Poem-a-Day. Her work has been translated into Turkish, Mandarin, Serbian, Arabic, French, and Spanish.
