Lauren Brazeal : part three


When you require renewal, is there a particular poem or book that you return to? A particular author?

I continually return to Sylvia Plath’s “The Rabbit Catcher” for different reasons. Mostly it’s the pure, burning energy in the poem. She was so unafraid to show her madness and raw power in that piece. Whenever I feel timid or like I should be more subtle, I return to “The Rabbit Catcher” and am reminded to never look away from my anger or sadness or joy—whatever emotion I’m trying to communicate in my writing at the time.
