Sunshine and Whiskey

From the Author How did I get here? I'm not sure.My mother has always encouraged me to publish my poetry, but I suppose I never thought it was worth reading. It was only ever an outlet for the things I couldn't say, the emotions I couldn't adequately express. A sort of solace.Now, here I am, sharing everything with you, poems from high school until now. Some, I hadn't read in years. Motivation? Perhaps, it was meeting my editor, Jeanette. Maybe, it was realizing that my Twitter followers look forward to reading my words. Or, more likely, it was time to get it all out.My first collection, 'Sunshine and Whiskey,' is divided into five parts. What some of them are about is obvious. Others are not. The first is called, "Summer." It is a nickname I've had since the womb. Many didn't know my name was Lauren until my late teens and twenties. It is there that we start. I hope that every subsequent part shows another facet of me, through growth and experience.Inspiration? A little of everything. Whole I enjoy ekphrastic art and random inspiration, it is not at my core. I write my raw heart. I don't know if that's art, but it is me and all I can gift you. In that you'll find the most obscure of references and widest variety of muses, whether they be spiritual, sexual, pragmatic, scientific, or pure pop culture. In any case, here I am, naked before you, saying in so many ways, that I crave love and connection.Be well. Love hard. Live long. Prosper. About the Author
