Books by Emily Cooper

In 'Glass', Emily Cooper's poetics masterfully create a compelling space that deliberately excludes wide views-instead bringing her pen up close to a dilapidated house in a small rural town with its own personality. The traces and presence of those who have existed in those spaces-real and imagined-become interdependent in the narrative.

How do you define home? What small miracles have you witnessed that made you feel alive? What dreams, nightmares, and memories fill your mind? A collection of poetry which is all at once whimsical and dark, The Heart is a House is an introspective journey across our shared human experience. The eight chapters deal with broad themes from Cooper’s life from age thirteen to thirty-one, covering imagined fables, the psyche, family life, nature, architecture, love, and loss.

If I could be anything, is a poetic read about the mind and the things that can capture the imagination. Starting from the smallest microorganisms to the tallest trees. Keeping an organic mindset, the book hopes to take your mind around the garden but then brings you back to being the best you. Through innocent imagery the message of the story allows young minds to forever be imagining.
