About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Under the Blue, written and read by Suzannah V. Evans.

'Breath-taking . . . Evans brings forensic observation and brave grace to turbulent waters and the infinitesimal rituals of care' NANCY CAMPBELL

'Evans hears the world around her like no one else; she paces from beauty to agony and back without missing a step' NOREEN MASUD

'Balances a hypnotically dreamy and filmic vision with a precise and unsentimental lyric voice' POLLY ATKIN
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

'Catches us in the complexity of pleasure and pain that is being bodies in this world' PHOEBE POWER

'Understated, true and wise ... A poetic waterlog buoyed by the rhythms of love' ISABEL GALLEYMORE©2025 Suzannah V. Evans (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
