Books by Hannah Lavery

Blood Salt Spring is a meditation on where we are - exploring ideas of nation, race and belonging. Much of the collection tackles the isolation and traumas of 2020, but it also looks to find some meaning and makes an attempt to heal the pain and vulnerabilities that were picked and cut open again in the recent cultural shifts and political wars.

Based upon the true story of a death in custody, Lament for Sheku Bayoh asks the urgent question, is Scotland really a safe place?
