Postcards from India: Poems by Emer Davis

Emer Davis, a civil servant, has been writing poetry and short stories for over thirty years. Involved in various writers groups, including the Green Ink Irish Writers Group in London, Rooftop Rhythms in Abu Dhabi and Drogheda Creative Writers Group in Ireland, she set up the Poetry in the Park initiative in her local town in Ireland and organised the Drogheda Poetry Trail during the 2018 Fleadh. Once, when in Chennai, Emer stumbled upon a set of 50 literary postcards. It inspired her to write the poems in Postcards from India over eighteen months while living in India, each based on an image and quote from a postcard. The accompanying illustrations are pointers to the inspiration. She has also penned another collection of poems - Chaat - written when she had arrived in India. More information about her poetry can be found on her webpage bunnacurrypoet.org.
