| Introduction | Lauren Camp has created art for public spaces for 15 years, and performed her poetry since 2003. She is the author of a collection of poems, This Business of Wisdom (West End Press, 2010), and the writer/composer/director of a poetry soundtrack, “I Am and You Are.” She created “The Fabric of Jazz,” a large-scale art series, that traveled to museums in ten cities from 2004 to 2007, including the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, and the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Lauren has received awards and recognition for her work from the Gaea Foundation, World Literature Today and Rhino. A host for Santa Fe Public Radio (KSFR-FM) since 2004, she currently produces the weekly program "Audio Saucepan" (jazz, world music and poetry). Lauren finds many ways to empower people of all ages to express themselves. She frequently teaches at the Southwest Literary Center, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum's nationally acclaimed education program, and Santa Fe Community College, along with other museums and writers' conferences. She started this blog as another way to share and consider poetry, often referencing visual art and music. |
