Finding Sea Glass : Poems from The Drift

Exploring bereavement, belonging and rage, Hannah Lavery’s Finding Sea Glass: Poems from The Drift is a eulogy for her father and searingly honest portrayal of growing up mixed-race in Scotland. The pamphlet consists of poetry selections from The Drift, Hannah’s National Theatre of Scotland show.

Hannah’s voice is often quiet and loving, but she pulls no punches writing about both sides of the parent-child relationship, how we inherit and pass on race, and how Scotland constructs race and national identity.

The Drift tours with the National Theatre of Scotland in October 2019.
