Title
Locals: A Collection of Prose Poems - Paperback
by Claire Bateman (Author)
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.
