Birthright

by Boudicca Eades

Boudicca Eades’ debut collection of poetry mixes deeply personal experiences with wider calls for change. Through her experimental free-form writing, she explores themes such as identity, self-love, feminism and social issues, interwoven with a deep sense of lineage, the things she has inherited as a young woman, and poignant depictions of childhood and adolescence. With an undercurrent of storytelling reminiscent of Lewis Carroll’s dream-like works, her poetry offers glimpses of emerging a season of heartbreak, an icy conversation, a girl crushed underfoot. This collection is, most of all, an illustration of a young woman coming to terms with herself, her sexuality, and the difficulties of growing up in today’s train-wrecked world.
