Emma Madison makes her poetry debut in 2026 with her first poetry book, worms & weakness. This project includes poetry book formatting, art photography, and artist photos for Emma.
Emma Madison, artist and poet based in Charlotte, NC, has finished her first collection of poetry. worms & weakness is as much an exploration of the visual arts as the literary, with accompanying collages for each poem made by Emma herself.
The project began with photographing and perfecting all 20 collages featured in the book. I also had the privilege of taking artist photos for Emma, one of which is featured on the “About The Author” page. I assembled the collages, poems, and additional photos into a fully formed book.
