Brave Little Sternums

Written during the three years Matt Broomfield spent living and working in the autonomous, Kurdish-led region of Syria known as Rojava, these poems paint a picture of the writhing revolution there. From Broomfield's queer 'internationalist' identity, to the future of the region, this collection raises prickly questions and seeks to capture of the energy of Rojava, overlooked by the primary-coloured propaganda and grey criticism of our media. "The revolution is living, ugly, beautiful, writhing, self-contradictory, hopelessly compromised, and utterly worth fighting for."
