Emily Marchment

Emily Marchment is a poet, mother and trainee teacher from London, UK. She writes most of her poems in the wee small hours between getting her daughter to sleep and getting the bus to work.

“Derwent,” “Sunday” and “November”

The Derwent’s not in any rush. Green surf
Of trees, the rocky crests of peaks now still
Enough to watch their sister wind downhill
And salve exploited wounds of quarried earth.
