 \n&nbsp\;\n\nJoin us for a fascinating journey through space and time as E
 mma discusses the process of creating an imagined world from one of the fe
 w details known about Emily Brontë. It is believed she rescued then kept 
 a Merlin Hawk who she called Nero. Her bird of prey soars through history 
 and the West Yorkshire landscape both quarry and predator. Conally-Barklem
  explores what it means to be captive and to be wild\, the condition of th
 e falconer\, its lore and mystery through the enigmatic Brontë sister who
  stands both inside and outside of time.\n\n'By turns mythic\, soaring\, e
 arthbound and unyielding\, this collection is a dazzling addition to the B
 rontë canon.’\n\nKaren Powell\, author of Fifteen Wild Decembers\n\n‘
 A truly astonishing collection bristling with piercing insight and origina
 lity- this is Conally-Barklem at the height of her powers’\n\nSharon Wri
 ght\, journalist and Brontë biographer\n\n‘One of the most interesting 
 British poets working today’\n\nGraham Watson\, author of The Invention 
 of Charlotte Brontë\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nEmma Conally-Barklem is an author\, yog
 a teacher and workshop facilitator based in Yorkshire. Her first collectio
 n The Ridings was curated into an exhibition at South Square gallery in he
 r hometown\, Bradford. Hymns from the Sisters was written after a residenc
 y at the Brontë Parsonage Museum. She was a core poet for the BBC’s Con
 tains Strong Language Poetry Festival 2025 and a guest on BBC Radio 4’s
