"While known for her accuracy and clarity in regards to image, her speaker's willingness to stay put in moments of crisis and solitude provide a satisfying counterpoint to her sharp eye." --John Ebersole, Little Reviews for Busy People

In her first collection of poetry, Emily Hunt inverts the ordinary: "How to bring a new figure close / was like taking a globe, turning it once / and placing it back on its pedestal." Using spare diction and imagery, Hunt imagines a new world "so close to what the world is like" that the reader might feel like a humble visitor to our planet earth. Though often elegiac, Dark Green is alive, inviting its readers to deeply sense this poet's tender and singular investigations.
Emily Hunt is the author of the poetry collection Dark Green and the chapbook Company. She has also published two artist's books: Cousins, a collection of photo prints, and This Always Happens, a series of drawings and short texts. She lives in New York.
