Interviews

“My best hope is that a poem might break something open, leaving just enough new space so that, perhaps much later, in concert with other experiences and growth, a change of mind or a motivation to act might emerge.”

Book Reviews and Round Ups of Gash Atlas

“Gash Atlas is a disorienting and difficult exploration of the paths of abuse and violence that have permeated the western world for centuries. Lawson’s experimental style reveals how twisted and difficult it is to truly find the origins of pain and torment, and how one can try to navigate through it. It’s a siren call to wreck the ships of those who invade one’s safety and security, and Lawson’s voice is quite enticing when you see how cleverly constructed it all is.” -Carrigan
