Cornflower Blue (Paperback)

Paperback. Cornflower Blue; a poetry collection from Emma Steel - a writer who spent years quietly honing her craft before finding, in poetry, a form capacious enough to hold everything she wanted to say. Drawing on her Devon roots and a life on both sides of the Atlantic, Steel writes with the attentiveness of someone who has paid long, patient attention to the world: its seasons, its silences, its moments of unexpected grace.The collection moves fluidly between the natural and the mythic, the personal and the universal. Poems rooted in the textures of the earth sit alongside meditations on memory, longing, and quiet courage. Steel's range is wide - tender and elegiac in one breath, fierce and unflinching in the next - but what unites these poems is a deep, searching sensibility and a voice that feels entirely her own.
