Bøker av 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.

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.
