About Blue Bodies
Taken from the term 'Daoine gorm', Blue Bodies is a zine for the many faces and forms that shape Black-Irish identity. We released our first issue in October 2023 as a one-off Black History Month special. We have since decided to bring back the project as a recurring zine. We are working to create an archive of Black-Irish writing and visual art. The 2025 issue of Blue Bodies is a compilation of the work of 17 contributors. It includes poetry, essays, short fiction, and visual art. This edition was made with the support of Fingal County Council.
