Lauren’s first major publication was a book of poetry called ​Inter Arma​ (Fence Books, 2013), which won the Motherwell Prize. Their poetry has appeared in ​Best American Experimental Writing​ (Wesleyan University Press), as well as in ​Postmodern Culture​, ​The Los Angeles Review of Books​, ​Emerge: An Anthology of Writing by Lambda Fellows,​ and elsewhere. They’ve also had scholarly essays published in a handful of peer-reviewed journals. More writing on “the Dharma of Shakespeare” is forthcoming… drop your email below to dance together in those meditations.
