Description

Couples in last-chance therapy, best friends unfriending, racist trolls trawling the comments section for game - this collection is concerned with the things that make us feel. This felt realm is very much in nature, too. From the regal calm of goats cudding in the sun to the slow unwinding of the last bee on earth, Johanna Emeney seems to say that there is a message in the air - for those who listen with all of the senses. This outstanding suite of loosely connected poems is by turns powerful, warm, loving, and shocking.
