Go get Laura Theobald's book right now. https://shop.maudlinhouse.net/#salad-days “Something about Salad Days reminds me of Emily Dickinson—if Emily were hornier and funnier. The poems have the kind of specificity that allows them to feel universal, like some beautiful, demented collective dream. Laura Theobald really is one of the best poets we have.” – Juliet Escoria, author of Juliet the Maniac and Black Cloud “I don’t usually like poetry. 98% of poetry is overwrought and academic and boring. But Laura Theobald is mad (like Sylvia Plath mad, not the other kind) which makes her poetry different, in the way a mad woman’s voice is always a little different. In a way I like. In a way that intrigues me. Listen to her.” – Elizabeth Ellen, author of Person/a and Her Lesser Work
