Emma Anna Marie was encouraged to read and write poetry from a young age. She started writing poems in a poetry class at junior school. These spontaneous lessons would take place when her teacher was stuck for lesson ideas on rainy Friday afternoons. Later her GCSE teacher, namely a Mrs Huggett,, encouraged, (moreover demanded) , her pupils write poems. So, by the age of 17 she began to write poems for herself. Venting emotions and creating her own voice, be it rebellious and challenging.. Emma AM studied philosophy in Lampeter, Wales. The poems she writes are themselves philosophical and questioning, with a sprinkle of satire.
