Emily Haslers poëzie duikt in de ingewikkelde relatie tussen de mensheid en de natuurlijke wereld. Haar werk verkent vaak de minuscule details van de natuurlijke omgeving en onthult daarin diepere betekenissen. Hasler schrijft met een scherp gevoel voor taal en ritme, waardoor ze suggestieve en bedachtzame poëtische landschappen creëert. Haar gedichten nodigen lezers uit om na te denken over de plaats van de mensheid binnen het bredere ecosysteem en onze verbinding met de natuurlijke wereld.
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.
Exploring the profound connection between nature and self-awareness, this collection of poems delves into how our environments and histories shape our identities. Each piece features unique organic forms tailored to its theme, blending precision with emotional depth. The debut work captivates with its vitality, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences and relationships with the world around them.
Taking its name from the sections of libraries where much of Hasler's research began, Local Interest maps the friable and slippery landscapes of south Suffolk and north Essex: estuaries and water meadows, coastal defences and disused decoys, possible futures and forgotten pasts.
