Summary
“Whether writing about ageing and dating, diagnosis or love, Emma Storr’s poems are always surprising, often sparkling with wit and inventiveness whether in beautiful haiku or tight rhyming forms or in creative use of white space, she shows an enviable versatility. Some poems are laugh aloud funny, others more reflective but always in her signature strong, independent, witty voice.” – Carole Bromley
“Throughout this thoroughly accessible collection, we’re treated to the outstanding work of skilled illustrator, Janis Goodman.” – Nick Toczek
“Socks, ageing, music, maths, tennis and unwanted gifts of soap are just some of the topics Emma Storr addresses in this imaginative collection. She tackles the stuff of ordinary life with characteristic thoughtfulness and adds a bit of magic so that we are left uplifted.” – Mandy Sutter
A Rare Opportunity to Purchase is Emma’s third poetry collection and reflects her desire to amuse herself and others with humorous verse.
Emma grew up in London but made Yorkshire her home over 30 years ago. She trained in medicine and always wrote poetry for enjoyment and survival.
Dear Magpies, I am writing to complain about your behaviour. You have been stealing the food I put out for the hedgehogs. If this does not stop, you will be hearing from my solicitor.
