You can call me Em. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English  Literature and history, and a Master's degree in English Lit.  I'm Canadian. I write in a lot of different genres, but I mostly enjoy writing fantasy, or horror. I love exploring the darker aspects of the human psyche. In my poetry I like writing about the human body in all stages of growth, and all degrees of nudity. We're all so wonderfully complex and I love dissecting us with my pen. Nature also crawls into my work sometimes. Most of my love poems are pretty sensual/ romantic and embarrassing haha. I dedicate them all to my future wife wherever she is! Recently I've been curious about the healing aspects of literature, and would like to give that a try within my writing. Narrative medicine if you will. 

My username refers to Shelob the giant man-eating spider in Lord of the Rings.

Nietzsche once said that "the voice of beauty speaks softly." I too I like to find the quiet beauty around me and give my best attempt at capturing it with words.
