About the Author
Lawrence Joseph is a distinguished poet, lawyer, and professor whose work intricately weaves the threads of urban experience, legal precision, and profound human empathy into a tapestry of contemporary American verse. Born in Detroit to Lebanese Catholic parents, Joseph's poetry often explores the intersections of identity, justice, and the socio-political landscape, drawing from his dual career in law and literature. A former professor at St. John's University School of Law, he has garnered acclaim for his incisive voice that confronts power structures with both intellectual rigor and emotional depth. In What Saves Us: Poems of Empathy and Outrage in the Age of Trump, Joseph channels the turbulence of recent history, offering poems that rage against division while seeking redemptive connections in a fractured world. His contributions to poetry continue to illuminate the complexities of modern life with unflinching clarity and grace.
