Locals is a narrative atlas of prose poems as intimate as they are unpredictable, each a keyhole glimpse into the life of a different realm where our normal logic doesn't apply. Are we beholding magic? No, but through observing these strangers, we're confronted by the extraordinary paradoxes within our own hearts.
Claire Bateman's early collection of prose poems is a unique book. There's a story here. Bateman takes us somewhere deeper into the spirit of the universe. Not your typical poetry book. Take the ride. This one's not to be missed.
