‘Emma Clohessy’s poems are infused with a vibrancy and emphatic humanity that is truly wonderful to encounter: here is a new poet of love and family, of lyric romance and ekphrastic insight’     Thomas McCarthy, a poet, novelist and critic

‘Emma Clohessy’s poetic sensibility is finely tuned to nature and to the world of relationships; as well, her ekphrastic poems allowing us to accompany her into the creative realms of several painters.’  Deirdre Kessler, author, poet, teacher at the University of Prince Edwaed Island
