Cammy Thomas is an American poet. Her first book, Cathedral of Wish[1], received the Norma Farber First Book Award from the Poetry Society of America[2]. A fellowship from the Ragdale Foundation helped her complete her second, Inscriptions[3]. Her third collection, Tremors, is forthcoming in 2021. All are published by Four Way Books[4]. Two of her poems, under the title Far Past War, were set to music by her sister, composer Augusta Read Thomas.[5] The premiere of this choral work will be performed by the Cathedral Choral Society at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 17, 2021. Cammy currently lives in Lexington, Massachusetts.
