Drawing on the energies of 18th-century English convict women, including Rhook's 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'.
