Welcome to the Calling the Quarters Podcast. This is Season three episode seven. Today our Host Dean Jones is talking with author and Poet, Lauren Parker .

Bio: Lauren Parker is a fourth generation female breadwinner descended from male charlatans, and thus has grown up to become a very educated liar. She is a writer, zine maker, and visual artist and has written for the Toast, Strange Horizons, The Racket, Xtra Magazine, Catapult, and Autostraddle.

Her work focuses on the intersection of class, queerness, and the occult.

She’s the author of the poetry collection We Are Now the Thing in the Woods (Bottlecap Press, 2023), Dark Way Down (Animal Heart Press, 2025), and Spells for Success (Simon Element, 2025). She has a newsletter, Do You Want to Do Some Witchcraft?
