Being a working mother and writer, Lauren pulls much of her inspiration from the capricious lives we tackle every day. She focuses on all facets of womanhood, including the shifting roles and definitions that we face as we change and age.

L.E. Bowman's latest collection Shapeshifter aches with the soft sorrows and hard-won joys of life.

Melodic and introspective, Bowman's poems converse--struggling with grief and hopelessness while fighting for love and recovery. Shapeshifter grounds the reader in the body, ever transforming with age and experience. Reckoning with self-image, heartbreak, and motherhood, this collection emphasizes the beauty in mundanity--the journey that is life.

Bowman's Shapeshifter embraces the fear of an ever-changing and vulnerable existence, encouraging the reader to live in spite and because of that fear. It's a truly touching collection that can't be missed!
