Emily Valentine Poems (-10th Anniversary)

The Emily Valentine Poems is an innovative book that
challenges the impossible notions of femininity that permeate our
culture. The texts within include self-portraits, prose poems, fake fan
letters, and confessional lyric snapshots. These are pharmaceutically
enhanced tributes to the hangovers of twenty-something love and to the
pop icons from an unconventional 1980s childhood. With The Emily Valentine Poems, Zoe Whittall provides us with the perfect soundtrack for the culturally literate rebel in all of us.

"Zoe Whittall's poems are snake bite cures masquerading as candy."--RM Vaughan

"Whittall's big sense of humour is the under-coat on all these poems
but it doesn't take much reminding that the serious side of Zoe Whittall
is stone cold."--Michael Dennis
