Bøger af Emily Hasler

Emily Hasler's second collection exposes the dailiness of disaster and charts the constantly shifting courses of rivers and lives. Local Interest maps the friable and slippery landscapes of Suffolk and Essex. This is a book of threatened habitats teeming with life. Here is poetry that wallows at the muddy edges of things.

A breath-taking collection that moves between local and distant, urban and rural, past and present. This is poetry of emotional density with a lightness of touch, structural but organic, detailed but lively, thoughtful but playful. A rare combination of exactitude and wonder leading the reader in and keeping them there.

Nature is an unavoidable force in these poems, providing space for meditations on our knowledge of self and other. How do our environments and pasts affect us? How did we become? These poems have their own organic forms, adapted to purpose. Precision and sentiment give this debut force and vitality.
