Emily Blewitt’s debut collection of poetry is This Is Not a Rescue (Seren). The Carmarthen-born young author writes beautifully considered poems about love and relationships (‘I Threw Myself at You’, ‘Navigation Points’), about living in modern Wales (‘How to Explain Hiraeth to an Englishman’), satirical pieces about office life (‘When I Think of Bald Men’), as well as more occasional poems (‘Devouring Jane’– on Jane Austen’s heroes – and ‘Boba Fett and the Sarlacc’, a couple of cult characters plucked from Star Wars).
