Is Is Enough begins in heritage and harmony then breaks apart into the strange world and tautly stretched emotions that accompany dementia. The collection flickers through and locates in distorted realities, loss, and gentling. By haunting the past, the author reweaves and reorients against a continual vanishing. Ordinary situations begin to seem like joy in reverse, a treatise on the honesty of the present.

Poesi inom Skonlitteratur

Lauren Camp is the author of eight previous collections, including In Old Sky (Grand Canyon Conservancy, 2024), which grew out of her experience as Astronomer-in-Residence at Grand Canyon National Park. She served as New Mexico Poet Laureate from 2022-25 and founded the New Mexico Epic Poem Project. Honors include fellowships from the Academy of American Poets and Black Earth Institute, a Dorset Prize, a Glenna Luschei Award from Prairie Schooner, and finalist citations for the Arab American Book Award and Adrienne Rich Award. Her poems have been translated into Mandarin, Turkish, Spanish, French, and Arabic.

“Lauren Camp has the perfect touch. Her precise, exquisitely tuned poems lean us into scenes and understandings that feel both riveting and enduring...her poems deepen the world.” —Naomi Shihab Nye“Lauren Camp's new book is a stubborn testimonial to existence, to the sufficiency of life as it is in all its messy dailiness. I am moved by the speaker's central struggle, which is her desperate attempt to hold onto and let go of her beloved father who held on even as he lost his memory, his history, himself. Is Is Enough is a tenacious elegy-in-the-making, a book of being standing against nothingness.”—Edward Hirsch
