Bitches of the Drought

Electronic chapbook selected as a finalist in the Sundress Publications’ 2016 Chapbook Competition

“Lauren Eggert-Crowe paints big, gorgeous, preternatural flora and fauna in this small luscious package of poetry. “Hair aflame,” there are pink claws and a narrator who claims, “I was a neon emergency.” Bitches of the Drought will burn a hole in your heart with the glow of these poems that deliciously straddle the line between delicate and fierce.”

-Wendy C. 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

“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

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
