Emma Lee was born and raised in Colorado. She is a current 911 telecommunication supervisor with over nine years of service. She has a bachelor's degree in clinical exercise science and a minor in sports psychology. She resides in the Northern Colorado region, where she is also a business owner. She is married to her best friend, and they have one son, who keeps her busy with school activities and sports. Emma's perfect day includes hitting the gym, going on a hike with her adventure dogs, and ending the day with a home-cooked meal joined by family and friends. If Emma could travel the world with her family forever, she would.
What started as a complaint about the '40-line rule' in much of the poetry world has turned into an anthology that not only breaks that rule, but stomps all over it. Featuring 25 poems which break the rules - these are long, narrative, but by no means traditional poems, by contemporary voices.
Themes both great and small are explored in narrative poems that pack a punch. Human interactions from conversation, storytelling, lending and borrowing, theft, prayer, memory, shopping and a long walk, right through to sexuality, time travel, truce negotiations, disappearance, natural disaster, violence and death are all explored, many of them rooted in landscape and place. These lie alongside equally rooted mythological and historical tales drawn from Greece, Turkey, Africa, Scandinavia and Britain.
What draws all these themes together is the strength of the storytelling. Emotions as diverse as frustration, disappointment, embarrassment, hope, nostalgia, anger, and fear are channelled through spectacular poetry in many different forms into truly satisfying work.
