Em Berry is an independent writer, poet and artist from Aotearoa, New Zealand. By way of everywhere.
A gritty and accessible wordsmith taking a revised approach to literature and content creation — one that demystifies the practice of storytelling without smashing the fourth wall entirely.
Copywriter, editor and writer for hire, Em is experienced in virtually all modes of written word, but her first (and most enduring) love is poetry. Em reckons poets, artists are the true history keepers.
Writing to comfort some and disrupt others, Em’s work draws upon life experience as a traveler, rebel, reject and muse— embracing feministic, decolonial themes to create work that is thoughtful, compelling and gnarly.
Em is currently working on her first poetry book FIGHTING POEMS to be published in 2024.
