Emma Hammond – författare

Bold and experimental both in style and content, the poems of 'tunth-sk' have a life of their own - the images feel like they've been glimpsed through a gap in a fence line, the language like an eavesdropped conversation. In turns, funny, erotic, shocking and innocent, 'tunth-sk' establishes Emma Hammond as a distinct voice within the poetical landscape, unafraid of exploration, in turns playful and provocative.

In The Story of No Emma Hammond delivers an experimental lyric that is wild, weird and full of the errata of modern life. Her poems reappropriate the language of brands, pornography and instant messaging, and argue for Carry On films and Wotsits as the true subjects of poetry. The shifts of register and voice alone range from the breathtaking to the disconcerting in this stunning and complex second collection.
