From intimate portrayals of family dynamics to reimaginings of mythos, these poems spark conversation and contemplation.

Bateman's poems embody empowerment, evolution and healing.
Through a fiercely feminist lens, this collection confronts raw realities with unapologetic honesty and profound insight, shedding light on the shadows that too often remain unseen. When tackling tough themes like sexual abuse and domestic violence, Bateman is unflinching and fearless, compassionate and courageous.

Industry Reviews

'It is rare to find a collection of poems with such a natural flair for expansive compassion alongside courageous, piercing truth-telling. This troubled world has us asking, "how to resist, how to assist". Bateman answers with spirited eloquence, reminding us of "the blunt fact of crip promise". These are poems of irrefutable blood and love.' Andy Jackson
