Synopsis

Drawing on the energies of 18th century English convict women, including Rhooks own ancestors, Second Fleet Baby opens raw questions of belonging. In this collection, mother is narrated 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.
