------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Recenzii
Under the Blue is a breath-taking book. Each page displays the panache of a writer in their element. Suzannah V. Evans brings forensic observation and brave grace to turbulent waters and the infinitesimal rituals of care, and crafts a fierce credo of risk, rescue and radical tenderness
A marvellous, wrenching collection. Evans hears the world around her like no one else; she paces from beauty to agony and back without missing a step
Intimate and hypnotic, Under the Blue glimmers in the space between dream and reality, fear and joy. In this lyrical exploration of love, care and what it means to articulate and re-articulate these feelings as daily acts, Suzannah V. Evans offers a poetic voice that feels at once precise and fluid, bright and blue. These are poems of the body, of water and of the thrill and burden of life, and they sing out on every page
An extraordinary and important debut collection, powerfully assured both in its craft and in its purpose, illuminating the dailyness of care for loved ones in a careless world. The mundane and marvellous collide in the daily triumphs, terrors, joys and rage of the communal acts of unpaid care, and the particular doubleness of being a carer with experience of illness, the dual citizenship of the kingdoms of the sick and the temporarily well. Balancing a hypnotically dreamy and filmic vision with a precise and unsentimental lyric voice, this collection gave me the best kind of chills
A book of heart-breaking beauty . . . Under the Blue gives you a way of being, touch by touch, scene by scene, amidst the song, turmoil, salt and sweetness
Under the Blue ventures into new poetic waters to document the lived experience of being a carer. On every page we find a voice that's understated, true and wise. The result is a poetic waterlog buoyed by the rhythms of love
Under the Blue brims with sheer gladness for the gift of being alive, catching us in the complexity of pleasure and pain that is being bodies in this world. Written with a luminous energy that will keep you turning the pages, these poems are a precious reminder to be thankful for the small details, and to love one another with all gentleness, commitment and care
For all the weight of Evans' subjects there is a lightness of touch
In electrifying poetic prose, Under the Blue deftly moves through exotic, domestic and pastoral environments - rockpools, cowfields, a home in Christmastime - that feel imbued with breath. Wind, water and illness flows through these poems
Under the Blue works on the reader as a hybrid text, written in distilled, poetic prose and structured like a poetry collection
