Blake Auden 
To Drown as a Cure for Thirst 
Poems

The fifth collection from poet Blake Auden, To Drown as a Cure for Thirst, is a delicate exploration of grief and how it affectsand isaffected bytime and memory.Written in the wake of a global pandemic, the book touches on themes including loss, healing, personal reflection, mental health, and love, even in the face of the things that haunt us. Audens most personal and deeply honest collection to date, these pages examine the idea thatwe can overcome what winter has taken, and that to hurt is simply an act of remembering.
