La poesía de Emily Hasler explora la intrincada relación entre la humanidad y el mundo natural. Su obra a menudo examina los detalles minúsculos del entorno natural, revelando significados más profundos. Hasler escribe con un agudo sentido del lenguaje y el ritmo, creando paisajes poéticos evocadores y reflexivos. Sus poemas invitan a los lectores a contemplar el lugar de la humanidad dentro del ecosistema más amplio y nuestra conexión con el mundo natural.
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.
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.
