Emily Barker's debut poetry pamphlet Where the Black Swans Swim is a thing of wild and restless joy. It is full of wonder, curiosity, music and the ache of memory and displacement. These are poems of love for the natural world, of the fragility and beauty of the creatures that populate it and the human creatures who are so often its despoilers, and which seek to understand its place, and its place in us. This is a luminous book of poetry.
