Lauren Scott, Pushcart Prize Nominee, Poet, Author, and lover of dogs, especially chocolate labs

For the love of dogs!

From my first conversation with Lauren as a client, to this podcast, I knew Lauren had something profound to share.

Writing though our grief is one of the most cathartic things we can do whether we wish to be published poets, memoirists, or just want to use writing as a tool to process deep emotions.

If you love dogs and poetry and writing/journalling, or have recently expienced loss, this podcast and Lauren's recent book, King Copper, is an ideal prompt for deep refelection through heartfelt poetry.

Find it at Amazon or at Copperfield's Books in San Rafael, CA.
