Beyond the Blue

£10.00

AUTHOR: MIRIAM MASON

Through an exploration of the colour blue and the characters of birds, Beyond the Blue journeys through the themes of emergence, hope and self-renewal.  Drawing inspiration from Welsh myth, this collection of poetry weaves together family, freedom and empowerment, and encourages the reader to face the many versions of self, whilst also embracing the unknown.

This chapbook is part of our 2025 series. Chapbooks were traditionally printed and sold between the 17th and 19th centuries and took the form of a small printed booklet, usually containing a selection of poetry or fiction. The aim was to make literature affordable and accessible. You can read more about them here. This chapbook emerges from the older tradition.
