Description

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. REVIEWS Easily the literary event of 2015. - JODY PORTER, THE MORNING STAR Poignant, inventive, funny and wise. - BECKY VARLEY-WINTER, GLASGOW REVIEW OF BOOKS Emma Hammond's subversive second collection crackles with experimental energy, a glitch-popped open-line to modernity's infinite yammer of miscommunication. - PBS BULLETIN - from Amzon
