Summary

Drawing on the energies of 18th century English convict women, including Rhook's own ancestors, these poem open raw questions of belonging, narrating 'mother' as a long process of becoming. Through stories of childhood, fertility, and of nurturing new life during a pandemic, Rhook casts off the patriarchal weight of history, pulling origins 'from the seabed to the surface'.
