changing of the tides is the debut poetry collection by poet Emma Conlon. in three sections, “high tide”, “low tide”, and “changing tides”, the poet guides the reader through the tidal waves of first love, the hurricanes of heartbreak, and the painful process of picking up the pieces and putting yourself back together.
Chapbooks
mountain songs (2022)
originally created for an undergraduate poetry class, mountain songs is the previously unreleased predecessor to sea songs. the poems contained within this chapbook were written and edited while the poet resided in and around the the blue ridge mountains.
an ongoing experiment in poetic form, conlon mixes nature-themed free verse poetry with poetic forms like ottava rima, villanelle, pantoum, sonnet, ballad, and acrostic to craft a series of poems that begin to thaw in icy winter, bloom in the fertile spring, simmer in sultry summer, and smolder in the vibrant autumn.
sea songs (2020)
“with every piece, I could taste more and more of the salt in the air, sea foam curling around my ankles… [the poetry] is rich with oceanic imagery… reading sea songs was like the ocean coming home to me.” -kait quinn on sea songs by emma conlon
