Sam Batley’s photography captures the nuanced beauty of everyday life, with a special focus on the landscape and community of his hometown Barnsley, Northern England. His work reflects an intimate connection to place, imbuing ordinary moments with a sense of nostalgia and resilience. “Standing In the Same River Twice” explores themes of memory, change, and the enduring presence of the past in the present, as Sam ‘visits the ghost of himself’.

Throughout the publication there are a variety of poems written by Batley, along with an insert photograph printed by our friends at @pagemasters.co
