- Book Synopsis
- This Is Not a Rescue is the beautiful debut collection by a Carmarthen-born young poet, Emily Blewitt. Vibrant love lyrics contrast with poems that confront trauma and violence. Lighter themes include an homage to Jane Austen and an irreverent portrait of a Star Wars character. There are two sequences: one featuring crows, the other, a beloved cat.
