How do you define home? What small miracles have you witnessed that made you feel alive? What dreams, nightmares, and memories fill your mind? A collection of poetry which is all at once whimsical and dark, The Heart is a House is an introspective journey across our shared human experience. The eight chapters deal with broad themes from Cooper's life from age thirteen to thirty-one, covering imagined fables, the psyche, family life, nature, architecture, love, and loss.
In 'Glass', Emily Cooper's poetics masterfully create a compelling space that deliberately excludes wide views-instead bringing her pen up close to a dilapidated house in a small rural town with its own personality. The traces and presence of those who have existed in those spaces-real and imagined- become interdependent in the narrative.

Gedichte
"Verlangsamung des Herzschlags" versammelt Gedichte, die um Fragen von Zeit und Raum, Erinnerung, Identität und Heimat kreisen. Jedes Gedicht ist eine kleine, minutiös gestaltete Episode, die erst nach und nach ihre Vielschichtigkeit offenbart. Da geht es um die Verletztlichkeit von alten Häusern und um ihre Lebensgeschichten, die sich in Tapetenflecken, verborgenen Schmuckstücken, Staubgebilden zwischen Dielenbrettern, unauslöschlichen Ausdünstungen offenbaren. Es geht um die irische Landschaft, in der sie stehen, umd um Momente der Einsamkeit, Zuneigung, Enttäuschung, die sich darin ereignen. Und bisweilen scheint in diesen intimen Momenten die ganze westliche Kulturgeschichte als Referenzrahmen auf. Aus kleinteiliger Lebensbeobachtung erwächst Welthaltigkeit.
