About

Cher Engerer

Cher brings a distinctly rhythmic sensibility to her work. Her poetry carries the influence of music, memory, and the blues - sometimes lyrical and delicate, sometimes fierce, darkly humorous, and unapologetically provocative.

 

Lemon Juice and Clotted Cream is her first published poetry collection: a gathering of words written across a lifetime of becoming. It is an offering to those who have loved too much, lost themselves, carried others, questioned everything, and somehow found the courage to begin again.

 

Cher lives in Malta with her family, where she continues to work, write, make music, and explore the beautiful, bewildering business human connection.

  • Lemon Juice and Clotted Cream

    Lemon Juice and Clotted Cream is a fearless collection of poems that moves through love, loss, womanhood, aging, motherhood, addiction, desire, grief, and survival with unflinching honesty. These poems do not seek comfort—they seek truth. From childhood rooms and broken homes to oceans, bars, lovers’ beds, and quiet mornings with dogs, the voice here is raw, lyrical, and deeply human. Each piece feels like a confession whispered too late or a reckoning spoken just in time. Violence is emotional, tenderness is hard-won, and beauty often arrives bruised. This is a book for readers who have burned and bloomed, broken and begun again—who understand that healing is not gentle, and survival is its own kind of poetry.
