Laurie Lambert's first full length book of poetry is a deeply personal collection of memories and stories. In "What We Are Made Of" this poet describes in intimate detail the moments of quiet joy, deep love, and heartfelt grief that make up a life. Lambert's poems reveal a genuine connection to nature, and describe unique aspects of her relationships to trees, birds, and her river. These friendships, as well as her ardent bonds with family, enrich her writings with a private, earnest spirituality that brings the reader in close. Speaking in both whispers and shouts, she shares her struggles with life's challenges and her relationships to beloved companions. Lambert reveals the secrets of her life, inking her heart onto the page.
