## Resource

Poet, author, and former New Mexico Poet Laureate Lauren Camp joins The Art Box for a thoughtful conversation about curiosity, language, and the quiet power of paying attention. From her beginnings as a visual artist and jazz radio host to writing her acclaimed new collection Is Is Enough, Lauren explores how place, time, sound, and stillness shape her poetry. We also journey beneath the dark skies of the Grand Canyon, where her experience as Astronomer-in-Residence inspired In Old Sky, and discover why a simple word like "spigot" can become a doorway to imagination. If you've ever wondered how poetry helps us notice the world—and ourselves—this is an episode you'll want to linger with. Find out more about Lauren at: https://www.laurencamp.com/
