Emery brings an unusually wide-ranging poetic vocabulary to the encounters in Modern Fog, depicting wildlife on the Norfolk Broads or a multi-storey car park with equal fluency. These are elegiac, tough-minded poems of marked originality and scope. "It's as if these attentive, atmospheric, musical poems can light up everywhere: seascapes, edgelands, interiors, even a carpark. Chris Emery's art is at once earthy, spiritual, dreamlike and exact. So often, the language is irresistible: 'Above us, in its immaculate empire, / a bird whirrs up and saves / its eyes for the militant hour.'"-Moniza Alvi
Emery's new book presents a dazzling array of voices: art dealers, TV stars, killers, cowboys, poets, coat check boys, checkout girls, composers, priests, gods, angels, winners, losers, lovers, the newly born and the dearly departed.
A tenth anniversary edition of Chris Emery's black comedy debut, Dr. Mephisto, made simultaneously available in print and electronic form. Flamboyant, funny, poignant and excessive, Emery's modernist work is a picaresque, historical road show of hell from the brink of the 21st Century.
