Zoe Whittall published her first poetry collection, The Best Ten Minutes of Your Life, in 2001, years before her debut novel. The Emily Valentine Poems (2006) and Precordial Thump (2008) followed, establishing her as a poet interested in desire, the body, and the texture of daily life.
No Credit River (2024) is her most recent collection, arriving over fifteen years after her previous poetry book. Whittall’s poetry has always run alongside her fiction career, and the two forms inform each other in their shared attention to how people present themselves and what lies underneath.
