Bron Bateman
Bron is obsessed with the body and much of her poetry explores the ways in which bodies are inscripted and read. She has a BA from Curtin University and is half-way through her Honours degree, writing a thesis on gay adolescents who cut or tattoo, and what that can mean, culturally, literally and metaphorically. Her first collection of poetry, People From Bones, (with co-author, Kelly Pilgrim), is being published in June 2002, by Ragged Raven Press (UK). Bron lives in Perth, Western Australia.
