Rosewater is a homage to trans tenderness, a cry for connection and a search for hope, joy and change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collection is roughly based on the theme \"The land isn't binary and neither am I\". It's an exploration of what it means to be from a border town; from a country split in two as a wound of colonialism and war; and to be queer and trans in this context; it includes references to racism, transphobia, homophobia, domestic abuse and intergenerational trauma; it speaks frankly about suicide in the trans community. It is also a collection about surviving, about chosen family, about finding home and joy. There are some explicit sex poems in there. Take gentleness while reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Playful Pomegranate Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836544203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.30d","brand":"Kaan K, Yas Necati","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45369974980789,"sku":"9781836544203","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_728d0089-5136-427b-b248-a73d4b84f48b.jpg?v=1747109036","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/rosewater-gold-edition-9781836544203","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
