I'm really excited to be reading Emma Simon's first poetry collection Shapeshifting for Beginners from Salt today. I really enjoyed Emma's two poetry pamphlets Dragonish (from the wonderful Emma Press, 2017) and The Odds (Smith|Doorstop, 2020, Winner of the 2018/19 International Book & Pamphlet Competition, judged by Neil Astley, Michael Schmidt and Amy Wack).
Emma's offered her advice for entering the Poetry Business Pamphlet competition here and about the process of putting together a competition winning collection, which you can read here. Her acknowledgements page of Shapeshifting for Beginners demonstrates Emma's track record in winning UK poetry prizes for both her collections and single poems, so she's got of experience to share.
