“Writing in league with Mary Oliver and Jane Kenyon, Laura Kauffman tills the soil of the soul. With Carolina Clay, she beautifully uproots connectedness: between life and death, beauty and ashes, generations of a family, and the sides of ourselves we try to separate.” - Aarik Danielsen, Columbia Daily Tribune arts editor

In her debut collection of poetry, Laura Kauffman explores the space between love and loss. Compelled by the death of her grandmother, the poet catalogues a journey of discovery through the themes of history and heritage, age and dementia, and – ultimately – hope and healing. Accessible and compelling, Carolina Clay invites the reader to take a journey of their own – to be both lost and found in its pages.

More praise for Carolina Clay:

“Carolina Clay is a feast for the senses, lush with blood, dirt, and roots. Laura Kauffman has written a liturgy of grief brought on by the abandonment of place, the unavoidable decay of nature, and the lingering loss of her grandmother with dementia. Accompanied by poignant black and white photos, Carolina Clay weaves a rich tapestry shot through with the visceral beauty of heritage, faith, and the sacredness of humanity.” – Tammy Perlmutter, founder and curator of The Mudroom

“Carolina Clay immediately enchanted me. But I couldn't say why. I kept reading, then suddenly paused for there on the page the poet showed her hand: ‘There's this way...that makes you feel like going home’. Bingo--that's exactly how I felt.” – John Blase, author and poet of The Jubilee: Poems

“Reading Kauffman’s poetry is like putting your hands into the earth when you garden – rich and satisfying.” – Rachel Joy Welcher, author and poet of Two Funerals, Then Easter

“[Kauffman’s] poems bear witness to all that binds us to the God waiting at the end of the end of our ropes.” – Aarik Danielsen, Columbia Daily Tribune arts editor and Fathom Magazine columnist
