From the multi-award-winning poet: a new collection of soaring lyricism and desire, exploring the act of care and the consequences of loving

Under the Blue is an arresting, deeply candid exploration of both the shimmering beauty of life and the realities of care.

Through a series of glittering fragmental prose poems and evocative postcards, Suzannah V. Evans has produced a kaleidoscopic meditation grounded by profound humanity and empathy – about intimacy and togetherness, sickness and pain, what can be said and what remains unsayable.
