Almost Blurb

So often we find ourselves ‘almost done’, ‘almost ready’ or ‘almost there’.

A new collection of poetry by  Emily McIntyre explores these ‘almost’ moments, offering an insightful glance at the experiences that too often fall short of our expectations.

Not adhering to one poetic form, McIntyre deliberately plays with structure and language:  absurdist influences overflow from “My compliments to the chef”,  confessional poets swoon to  “Now” and “Sonnet One” concludes the book with a mastered reflection.

“Almost”, the writer’s second publication, offers a compelling literary journey finding cohesion in the most unlikely places.

Writer Emily McIntyre and artist Rachel Carroll (both northern beaches residents) are joining together for a combined opening  at Mona Vale Gallery on October 1st. . Come and experience both art and poetry and some lovely tea and cupcakes!

Poetry Reading at 1pm :)

Book Launch!

Come along for some poetry, art and tea!

It's been a while

As the title says, it's been a while...!
Unfortunately uni work gets the better of me during the semester, but never fear, I am now on mid-semester break! So hopefully I can post more regularly here and make up for the 'non-posting' the last couple of months... Works in theory, right?

So, big news... "Almost" has been released! Yes, that's right! My second publication has been printed... I can't explain how excited I am about it !

I am going to be having a book launch on Saturday, the 1st of October, combined with an opening for artist Rachel Carroll, so stay tuned for more details ! Come and say hi!

I hope you are all well and I look forward to seeing you sometime soon!
