Description
Simon Armitage's poetry collection Out of the Blue responds to three significant anniversaries, each marking a different conflict. The poems explore themes of remembrance and reflection.
Commissioned by Channel 5 for a documentary broadcast five years after the 9/11 attacks on America, and also for a radio drama set in Cambodia thirty years after the rise of the Khmer Rouge, these poems offer a unique perspective on the impact of conflict on individuals and society.
Published in 2008, Out of the Blue is a powerful collection that invites readers to consider the complexities of memory and its role in shaping our understanding of the world.
