To the Occupant

Emma Neale creates shape-shifting poems that confound prejudices and subvert expectations. The striking imagery and emotional range of her work challenge the open and latent violence of contemporary life, from refugee crises to rape, poverty, and mental illness to climate change, while revealing the extraordinary in the everyday. Whimiscal typographical experiments and prose poems sit next to reimagined fables, deliciously light-handed satire, and quietly powerful insights into the contemporary political terrain.

Emma Neale creeaza poezii care schimba forma, care confunda prejudecatile si submineaza asteptarile. Imaginile izbitoare si gama emotionala a operei sale provoaca violenta deschisa si latenta a vietii contemporane, de la crizele refugiatilor la viol, saracie si boli mintale la schimbarile climatice, dezvaluind in acelasi timp extraordinarul in cotidian.
