In this award-winning pamphlet, Anne Bateman takes us on journeys, both geographical and emotional. The images in Tattvas are vivid and resonant. There’s a strong sense of connections, whether to land or people, communicated with phrases that make us hold our breath as we read. And there is a formal openness to the work that lets in space for us to accompany the author and make our own journeys. An effective and accomplished sequence from the author of My Body Remembers.
