Emily Critchley's poetry blends popular culture with a street-wise feminist critique, creating a unique and engaging form of public poetry. It balances combativeness and intellect with an upbeat approach, allowing for both pleasure and critique without falling into pretentiousness or commercialism. A notable aspect is her exploration of self-dialogue, where themes of love, politics, art, and academia are examined through a lens of personal reflection and public interaction, showcasing a dynamic relationship between the self and the broader societal context.
