This Is Not a Rescue
This Is Not a Rescue | Emily Blewitt
3 posts
Emily Blewitt's debut collection of poetry is This Is Not a Rescue (Seren). The Carmarthen-born young author writes beautifully considered poems about love and relationships ('I Threw Myself at You', 'Navigation Points'), about living in modern Wales ('How to Explain Hiraeth to an Englishman'), satirical pieces about office life ('When I Think of Bald Men'), as well as more occasional poems ('Devouring Jane'- on Jane Austen's heroes - and 'Boba Fett and the Sarlacc', a couple of cult characters plucked from Star Wars). There are two short sequences: one on a favourite cat, the other inspired by the ubiquitous crows in Wales. A wry, even slightly sardonic tone, contrasts with a lighter lyricism. The author also doesn't shrink from several darker narratives involving sexual abuse and violence.

This guy has been keeping me from my books the past few days. Gabriel came home with me on Tuesday, and is settling in quite nicely. He makes my heart smile. #newaddition #adoptdontshop #hydrocephalus #hydrokitty #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #vettechpets #thereasonicantgetanythingdone

My new obsession: Gabriel. At a time when my heart needs healing and my beautiful boy Gilbert (see previous posts for pics) needs a friend, I met and fell in love with this handsome boy. I'm hoping to pick him up later today or tomorrow from his foster mom, if we can agree on a time. @CoffeeCatsBooks #giveaway #manythanks #newaddition #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #hydrokitty #hydrocephalus #cantwait #vettechpets
