Greetings all!
Well, it’s September, and that means only one thing: Emily’s debut collection, ‘the dew point’, is soon to be released via Verve Poetry Press, on 19th September. Yes, as we gave you the heads-up this time last year, so too has the time very nearly approached. You can pre-order it here, and it’s free P&P on all UK orders! Want to know more? Then read below:
“Taking inspiration from the transient states of water, and the parallels of human sentiment, the debut collection from Emily Rose Galvin explores the changing states of emotion, relationships, mental health and cultural pressures. From the vapour-like intangibility of first love to the waves of depression, the dew point aims to examine that finite degree between happiness and desolation; emptiness and making ourselves whole.
At times both vulnerable and shocking, Emily’s writing strikes a nerve between the subtle and uncomfortable, while coaxing out the honest core of readers and forcing them to engage with the darker parts of modern life that we tend to gloss over.
This is a wonderful debut collection from former Staffordshire Poet Laureate and co-founder of regular Stoke-on-Trent spoken word night WordCraft, Emily Rose Galvin.”
Emily is tremendously excited to see this collection be released, and we hope you’re looking forward to reading it! Keep looking after yourselves, and we’ll see you before too long.
R&C xx
PS: Apologies for the gigs earlier this year not going ahead, we do hope very much to get them rescheduled as soon as we can, and as soon as we do, you’ll be the first to hear about it! Keep looking after yourselves.
