Ortiz, author of Bruja and Excavation “Bitches of the Drought is Rocky for riot girls—all ecstatic anger and beat him to the punch puns. Los Angeles’ climate change induced, bone-dry summer is the perfect backdrop to an ambivalent, end of the road love story, with its final moments of sad magic like “a cupcake atop a gazelle,” “a panic of silk,” and “a slowed glacier.” A beautiful little book.” -Kate Durbin, author of E! Entertainment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6044309b3bcae94a8d7b2281/1615089075147-79HJ8N1TCH194EVTBTEH/Hyacinth+Girl+cover+MB.jpg Home - The Exhibit Hyacinth Girl Press, 2013 “Absolutely stunning. It’s like you’re observing everything you’ve ever experienced in strange, abstract and odd ways that make everything beautiful but at the same time terrifying. It took my breath away.” -Jen Campbell, author of The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night Author and book reviewer Jen Campbell names The Exhibit her favorite book of 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6044309b3bcae94a8d7b2281/1615089184411-LWY2GFC0I5THX83DY2BA/songbirdcover.jpg Home - In the Songbird Laboratory dancing girl press & studio, 2013 “Lauren Eggert-Crowe's poetry, like the songbird, desires to escape the forces that want to reign it in, desires ‘to meet Love unshorn.’ And so it does, through taut language and imagery, and enjambment that resists predictability. This book, like the swimming tumbleweeds, reminds us to see beyond both appearances and reality into some other possible way of loving.” -Lisa Eve Cheby, author of Love Lessons from Buffy the Vampire Slayer https://laureneggertcrowe.com/about daily 0.75 2026-01-05 https://laureneggertcrowe.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-01-05 https://laureneggertcrowe.com/writing daily 0.75 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6044309b3bcae94a8d7b2281/86a4b595-7453-41c4-abe6-b12a17b911cc/NER47.1.png Writing - Poetry Three poems at New England Review Persephone Watches Buffy The Vampire Slayer (MAYDAY) Queen of Any World That Took Me (Michigan Quarterly Review) One poem at DUM DUM Zine Two poems at Big Lucks Heaven Make Me a Warrior to Slay All the Bad Magic (2nd Place poem in Black Warrior Review 2016 Poetry Contest, selected by Hoa Nguyen) I Came Back Out of Boredom (ghost proposal, Issue 6) One poem at Tupelo Quarterly Poetry Contest, 2014 from The Ladder of Divine Ascent (XIII) (Sixth Finch) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6044309b3bcae94a8d7b2281/1615947719460-34RWIA9W23R7OYK92JVV/2016-04-08+07.32.07.jpg Writing - Book Writing With Fire in Her Heart: A review of Hollywood Notebook by Wendy C.
