PoetryPoet took her time to grow 2nd book from themes of monsters, fairy tales, and her own body
Courtney Bates-Hardy’s first collection of poetry, House of Mystery, came out in 2016. “My first book was written as my master’s thesis, and I was cramming the writing into lunch breaks while working full-time,” Bates-Hardy notes. “I still work full-time, and the nerve pain I experience makes it difficult to be at a desk or bent over a notebook for long periods of time.”
