Lauren Zuniga has lived in 60 houses in Oklahoma City. This is most likely attributed to her fear of commitment and tendency to fall in lust with kitchens. She is a three-time international poetry slam finalist and the author of two poetry collections, including The Smell of Good Mud from Write Bloody Publishing, which was a finalist for the Oklahoma Book Award. She lives with her two kids in a house named Clementine. She brews a mean batch of kombucha and likes the feeling of glue on her fingers.
