With an unsparing attention, Emma Neale creates shape-shifting poems that confound prejudices and subvert expectations. Displaying verve and confidence, her poetry is filled with musicality and dynamic language, always observant to the world and its details. The striking imagery and emotional range of her work never veer into sentimentality. These poems engage with the full spectrum of human emotion and experience, the hauntings of history, the cold hand of social inequality, and the long contrail of intimate cruelties. They challenge the open and latent violence of contemporary life, from refugee crises to rape, poverty and mental illness to climate change, while revealing the extraordinary in the everyday, where a childs-eye view of the world can witness the wonder of the new or the shadow of darkness. Whimiscal typographical experiments and prose poems sit next to reimagined fables (the Big Bad Wolf repurposed as inner demon), deliciously light-handed satire, and quietly powerful insights into the contemporary political terrain. To the Occupant is an innovative and astounding collection from one of New Zealands leading writers of her generation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49736142651665,"sku":"NGR9781988531687","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1988531683.jpg?v=1751454003"},{"product_id":"strong-words-2019-book-emma-neale-9781988531779","title":"Strong Words 2019","description":"Judging her first Landfall Essay Competition in 2018, Landfall editor Emma Neale was seriously challenged. The overall high quality of the 90 submissions made it impossible to choose. After a nails-bitten-to-the-quick struggle, she optimistically submitted her shortlist of 21 essays. The publisher had some strong words with her. Emma was told a shortlist needed to be shorter than 21. A lot shorter. There were no fingernails left to chew. She wasnt flexible enough to bite her toes. The only thing left to gnaw down was the too-long list. In the end she pared the list back to 10 but it seemed so wasteful not to be awarding many more prizes. The world needed to be able to read these damned fine essays. Thats when this book was born ... Strong Words is a striking collection of essays that show what Virginia Woolf once described as the art that can at once sting us wide awake and yet also fix us in a trance which is not sleep but rather an intensification of life. It celebrates an extraordinary year in New Zealand writing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49736936620305,"sku":"NGR9781988531779","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1988531772.jpg?v=1750901527"},{"product_id":"liar-liar-lick-spit-book-emma-neale-9781990048883","title":"Liar, Liar, Lick, Spit","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51630235451665,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51630235681041,"sku":"NGR9781990048883","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1990048889.jpg?v=1751252094"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-emma-neale.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
