Cammy Thomas’s newest collection of poems, Tremors, came out in 2021. Her first book, Cathedral of Wish, received the Norma Farber First Book Award from the Poetry Society of America. A fellowship from the Ragdale Foundation helped her complete her second, Inscriptions. All are published by Four Way Books. Her poems have appeared in numerous journals, and in the anthologies Poems in the Aftermath, and Echoes From Walden. Last spring, Far Past War, an orchestral setting of her poems composed by her sister, Augusta Read Thomas, premiered at Washington DC’s National Cathedral. She lives in Bolton, MA.
