Emily Anderson (Poet)

Emily Andersen is an Australian poet living in London, whose work is inspired by pop music, politics and place. Emily made her Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut in 2012 with her one-woman spoken word show Love in the Key of Britpop. She has performed her poetry on the BBC 6 Music breakfast show, as well as at spoken word events in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. She was mentored by the late, celebrated Australian poet Dorothy Porter between 2004 and 2005.  Emily is such a British pop fangirl that she once purposely moved into the London street where the videos for the Verve’s Bittersweet Symphony and the Arctic Monkey’s Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High? were filmed.
