Emily Burns performing Born into Flames on the open mic at Mother Tongue, June 10, 2016.
Emily Burns is an attractive and hilarious poet from Melbourne with a thang for sparkly shoes, excel spreadsheets and driving without a map. She spends a lot of time doing her real job to avoid becoming the carefree creative vegan she has always feared.
