Hymns from the Sisters

Emma Conally-Barklem
4.28/5 (17 ratings)
“A profoundly insightful poetic response to the world and work of the Brontës. Conally-Barklem’s singular voice echoes as a sister poet, also cut from Thornton cloth.”

—Sharon Wright, Journalist, Author of #1 bestseller The Mother of the Brontës


“Hymns From The Sisters is a stunning collection. Each poem pulses with its own particular energy and verve, contributing towards a collective effect that is simply spellbinding. These poems are called hymns for a reason: there is a power in placing individual voices alongside each other, allowing them to resonate. Emma Conally-Barklem takes museum exhibits—Anne Brontë's blood-flecked handkerchief, Charlotte's exotic moccasins, a necklace made from Emily's hair—and conjures them to life, digging beneath their surface to tell stories of sisterly connection and despair, missed opportunities for love, loss, and grief. These poems show how the Brontë sisters pushed against the limitations of their world, while heeding the pull towards the wild beauty of nature and what it is to live authentically and free.”

—Emily Devane, writer, editor, & teacher at Moor Words, Ilkley
