Blue: a lament for the sea is one woman’s journey through the interstices of land and sea, grief and love. The medieval Gaelic myth of the Isle of Iona escaping an apocalyptic flood infuses this contemporary lyric epic. Words unravel from deep time to the Anthropocene and our collapsing ecosystems, asking: what is hope in these times?
Published by Stewed Rhubarb Press in 2025, Blue: a lament for the sea has been performed in places ranging from arts festivals to Yale. The St John's event will include a discussion with Dr Oliver Peel on how the themes in Blue, and how poetry and trauma theology inspired by Julian of Norwich can help us in these times.
