Synopsis

Let The Rain Fall is a collection of poems and prose by Lauren Cohen that are a cathartic expression of the struggles occurring within modern society and humanity’s existential dilemmas. Her words tell stories often difficult to articulate; stories of pain and grief, healing and growth, oppression and liberation, and light and love. These stories are portrayed through the lens of Lauren’s perceptions of her own struggles and those of her friends, people in the community, and the world as a whole. Lauren creates poetic tension that invites the reader to immerse themselves in these universal existential challenges. Despite the dark clouds and menacing storms as the rain falls, eventually the sun breaks through, and with light, we find our way home to a place of healing and growth.
