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.
