Award-winning
Leeds poet Becky
Cherriman releases her poetry pamphlet Echolocation with
Mother’s
Milk Books this month.
The pamphlet explores single motherhood, infertility,
the adoption process and more by a writer who has lived them all.
Echolocation is Becky’s first pamphlet.You can
order copies here.
You can read her poem, Ultrasonics, taken
from
Echolocation, here.
Her first full collection is due out later in 2016
with Cinnamon
Press.
'Becky Cherriman's Echolocation is a stridently
assured body of work that negotiates the tethers binding mother and
child. Infertility, fostering and single motherhood are encountered
and marked by those elements of love that exist within the
interstices of domestic spaces and everyday life.' Poet and
Novelist, Carolyn Jess-Cooke.
'An impressive first pamphlet which does not succumb to
mawkish sentimentality, Echolocation displays some
startling and original imagery.' Poet,
Michael Brown.
