Veils of Athena is a beautiful meditation on feminine power and the vital forces that course through worlds with unrelenting resolve. These soulful poems and paintings mirror the profound dualities of feminine power and circumstance. The volume spotlights the iconic goddess’ archetype as a radiant touchstone for reflecting upon sublime feminine qualities that are both fierce and loving, offering birth and rebirth in their fullest senses. At times, these transformations entail erasures and rewritings, leveling houses of cards so that newer, more expanded, and more just worlds can be envisioned and built.

"A beautiful collection bathing in Lauren's imagery ... bridges the physical and spiritual world with taut elegance and grace. She guides her reader through Earthly pleasures, through lemon cherry breezes and beyond ... to wonders extra-worldly and beyond ... to Universal forms. Erudite but open and accessible ... welcomes the reader's take, while singing in subtle rhymes and octet rhythms, keeping time with her moon's metronymic sway."

-- Lady Booth Olson, lawyer and founder
