Welcome

I am very glad you are here.

I’m Emily- I write things and sing things. I am relentlessly curious about what it means to be a messy human animal in a chaotic world and love to find ways of exploring this and connecting with people. The main way I do this currently is through writing poetry and playing music with my bands Ook and the Elephant and Spinsters.

I am neurodivergent, but don’t think you need to be neurodivergent to feel completely overwhelmed with information and noise. It is hard to pay attention in a world that constantly begs for our distraction and I am interested in the small ways we can interrupt this, slow down and feel more connected.

I believe quite strongly that it is important to steal back some of our time and focus so that we can imagine different ways of being.

So why subscribe?

I want to make Substack my creative home to explore these ideas. I’d like less Zuckerberg/Musk in my life (wouldn’t we all?)

I will share ideas, events, songs and words that I think will resonate.

Paid subscribers and free subscribers will get the exact same content.
