So often we find ourselves ‘almost done’, ‘almost ready’ or ‘almost there’.



A new collection of poetry by Emily McIntyre explores these ‘almost’ moments, offering an insightful glance at the experiences that too often fall short of our expectations.



Not adhering to one poetic form, McIntyre deliberately plays with structure and language: absurdist influences overflow from “My compliments to the chef”, confessional poets swoon to “Now” and “Sonnet One” concludes the book with a mastered reflection.



“Almost”, the writer’s second publication, offers a compelling literary journey finding cohesion in the most unlikely places.
