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
