TEATH
Round's Teath is provocative, at times eerie and uncomfortable (in the best way). These works will stick with you like a broken tooth caught in your throa t.
NJ Gallegos, author of Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires
Both profane and profound, Teath is a twisted take on the life-altering events that make us who we are and who we’ll become. Through the distorted lens that is her truth, Round’s vulnerability is wrapped in unrefined and grotesque imagery that gives us delusions perfection. As she invites us to uproot and rebury these memories deep within her own personal boneyard, we question whether we are born into innocence or if worldly conduct is in our blood. Regardless, no matter how many times this princess loses her crown, the poet’s focus still shifts to finding forward, wherever or whatever that might be.
-Lori A Minor, editor of small absurdist poems

A short anthology of poems that really kick you in the gut with emotions. I love how to-the-point they were and how they felt like daily observations and experiences any human can have. The poems comment on growth and a lot about bad teeth, which I think everyone can find an aspect to relate to! I can’t wait to read more from Laura in future, she’s such a lovely soul with so much to say!

This is a small collection of poems with a lot to say.
I went to school with Laura, though we spoke very rarely. But having reunited with them at a poetry event in my hometown, I was thoroughly impressed by their writing and had to purchase their book immediately.
“Teath” is a nuance anthology, about growing pains, the pains of growing, growth and pain. And bad teeth. Which I relate to. For me, it captures the distant feelings of nostalgia, youth, bus stop observations, and the internal workings of a unique individual.
It’s beautiful written and I can’t wait to read more of Laura’s work in the future.

Teath is a brilliant, glittering collection about - poor teeth. And life. But it oozes confidence and isn't afraid to use joinwords where the language doesn't exist for the images Round wants to create. Homely and spikey, edgy and strangely comforting and recognisable, with edges of cyberpunk or glittersharp, this is the poetry we need to cull the tweeness of others'.

Teath was a quick, but excellent, read; I really enjoyed the poetry inside this book. 'After Midnight' was my favourite piece, but I also really liked 'Baby Badger Looks on at Daddy Badger', 'Merry Christmas', 'Brace Yourself', and 'Rich Tea'. Another great collection from Laura!
