Emma Lew's poetry is marked by the pungency of her language and the intensity of her poems, often couched in the form of estranged monologues. Her lines can sometimes seem disconnected, but the pile-up of effects works like a montage, and the skewed observations circle their subject, searching for the reality at the heart of the poem.
