Lauren Stroh is a writer, editor, and translator from Lake Charles, Louisiana.
My latest writing spans the loss of ten years’ worth of diaries, chronic illness, and my affinity for the art of Eva Hesse, published by Momus.
My criticism has been published by Art in America, Artforum, Bookforum, e-flux, Hyperallergic, The Nation, and many other print and digital newspapers and magazines.
On culture, I mostly write about Louisiana (see: my essay for Oxford American about Britney Spears and the archetypal southern woman and my study of the Angola Prison Rodeo forthcoming with The Nation). My essays on hurricanes appear in Oxford American, n+1, and Longreads.
My translations of Rene Ricard’s Spanish poetry were published in The Brooklyn Rail.
Recent editorial projects I have undertaken include copyediting, proofreading, and fact checking for Gato Negro Ediciones, an art publisher based in Mexico City, and the same for Stacy Kranitz’s pamphlet series, Ain’t No Grave Gonna Hold My Body Down, which features information about endemic public health issues in Appalachia, such as addiction, hospital closures, black lung disease, dental care, and medical debt.
This fall I will offer a Creative Writing Workshop through the Institute for Industry-Education Collaboration at McNeese State University, open to emerging and experienced writers alike.
I love the Freelance Solidarity Project, the digital media division of the National Writers Union.
I would be indecent, unhoused, and unfed were it not for the generous support of the Authors League Fund, the International Women’s Media Foundation, the Haven Foundation, PEN America, and United States Artists throughout the years.
