Acre of Sirens

By Emily Biroschak

Poetry I Paperback

In her debut Emily Biroschak offers an undomesticated take on modern poetry: a rocknroll romance but frank and disillusioned as the current age demands. In language at once verbally lush, playful and sometimes erotic, Biroschak, whose name itself points at the power of the pen, rescues present-day poetry for a lost generation of clubbers, DJs, musicians, artists, models and internet kids, born into a lethal current of emptiness and performance. This is poetry unafraid to capitalise big nouns like Love and Wild, because they are.

Emily Biroschak was born in California in 2002 and ran away from home when she was 14, ultimately ending up in London. Mastering a rolling stone/ bohemian way of living with luck and scheme, she is a poet that works as a professional model. This is her debut collection.
