Almost.

By Emily McIntyre

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 1^st. . 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!

"Almost" is Ready!

Almost by Emily Mcintyre | Make Your Own Book

So, you want proof?

I am delighted to report that I have ordered my proof! Proof of what you may ask? Proof of my upcoming book "Almost." .

I can't wait to see how it looks and feels!

Almost there....

Did someone say... BOOK RELEASE?

Even though it is 6:32 in the morning and I have been awake for the last two hours (got to love haywire sleeping patterns) I thought I'd share my utmost excitement for my up and coming BOOK RELEASE!

Yes, that's right!

My second book of poetry, entitled "Almost." is going to be released in the next month.

Following from "Petite", which was released in conjunction with the ArT tree's exhibition in September 2009 at Mary Place Gallery in Paddington, "Almost." endeavours to explore "almost moments" - the very nearly experiences that are "all but" what was expected.

Stay tuned for the official book launch details, which will be happening in July 2011.

(It's the final count down!)

Musical Delights

To aid the creative juices, I've recently discovered a new fascination with Bob Dylan's music. People seem to be very heated/passionate about how much they love or hate him, or which era of music they like the most.

Although, I must admit, I was spurred on by the influence of watching "Taking Woodstock", a movie that everyone must sit down and watch! I particularly appreciated the greetings the drama troupe gave to the helicopter, and the lovely mudslide. Ah, if only we could all be young & free....

EXCITING NEWS:

In the next month or so, i should be releasing my next book... it is entitled "Almost.". Can you think about moments in your life where you've had to suffice with an "Almost", or if an "almost" was better than what you were after? What is an almost definition? 

Now, for a cup of tea... xx
