Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Longlisted for the Royal Society of Literatures Ondaatje PrizeSituated where salt and freshwater meet, where floods and fields mingle parts, Emily Haslers second collection exposes the dailiness of disaster to chart the constantly shifting courses of rivers and lives.Taking its name from the sections of libraries where much of Haslers research began, Local Interest maps the friable and slippery landscapes of south Suffolk and north Essex: estuaries and water meadows, coastal defences and disused decoys, possible futures and forgotten pasts.This is a book of habitats lost, created and threatened, teeming with plants, people, animals and legless, uneyed life. Here are promontories, precarity and potential; the first English sea battle and a forgotten stuntman; rare and familiar birds; a fish die-off and a vanished world; a historic earthquake and continuous erosion. Moments and millennia are as muddled as the elements. In these poems nothing is pure and everything is borrowed. Language is hybrid; poems are stolen and observed.Local Interest questions boundaries and belonging, squinting at ideas of invasion and migration, borders and crossings. It asks what is local and to whom; how we might celebrate dwelling while looking beyond permanence and ownership.This is poetry that wallows at the muddy edges of things, that asks you to follow it through every breach that was and could be. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Pamphlet. Condizione: New. Nature is not so much the subject as an unavoidable force in these poems, providing space and fodder for meditations on our knowledge of self and other. Here, the small histories that complement or contradict grand narratives come to the fore. Hasler adopts the stance of the naturalist, seeking to observe and collect, but with the imagination working alongside the eye. Along the way these poems confront questions of naming and categorising, and ask how our environments and our past affect us, and we them. How did we become? Change and adaptation is the key here. The manner of investigation never shies away from the fact that nature can be both deeply personal and unfamiliar. Rather it embraces both of these aspects and uses them to construct its own narrative, one of shaping and discovery. Much like the subjects contained within them, poems have their own organic forms, adapted to purpose. It is this adaptation combined with precision and sentiment that give this debut force and vitality.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Emily Hasler's debut collection moves between the local and the distant, the urban and the rural, and past and present. This is a poetry of emotional density underpinned with a lightness of touch. Hasler's poems are structural but organic, detailed but lively, thoughtful but playful. There is a rare combination of exactitude and wonder which leads the reader in and keeps them there. Often taking their cue from the work of visual artists, these poems probe at the ways we understand and reconstruct our environment. Examining places, objects, buildings, landscapes, rivers and bridges, these poems ask how our world is made, and how it makes us.…
