Her first lyrical collection, Tanicia Pratt tells an autobiographical story of love, heartbreak and the inescapable blue. In a country where seas mirror skies, and the shore is never too far away, blue is the central hue modelling The Bahamas and its many complexities. Each poem dives deeper and deeper as the poet unearths themes surrounding family, the body, trauma, and nationhood. BLUEis poetic jazz - edged and raw in its depictions of Caribbean culture - a soundtrack for women who dare to love (in) their country.
