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","brand":"Literary Cat Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53503517622536,"sku":"9781836540410","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/7688\/0392\/files\/9781836540410.jpg?v=1773324397","url":"https:\/\/literarycatbooks.myshopify.com\/products\/rosewater-by-kaan-k-yas-necati","provider":"Literary Cat Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
