Emma Storr

The Year of Two Winters

In The Year of Two Winters Emma Storr travels between childhood and adulthood, New Zealand and the UK, in poetry that is accessible, poignant and often tinged with humour. Different voices speak to us: a polluted ocean, a right hand, an earthworm. While love, loss and longing are common themes, the macabre and surreal also feature. Exploring the body, Emma considers sexual desire, the unsung pancreas and the unpredictable heart.

the hemispheres

with scarred wings, left behind

a scattered nest."
