I've just been exchanging emails with Choman, whom I met through the Arvon Jerwood Young Poets' Apprenticeship Scheme last year. I wanted to congratulate her on the excellent review in Poetry London of her first collection in English, Life for Us. Then it occurred to me that I should let everyone know about Choman's book, in which she explores her own personal experiences of war, persecution and exile, those of her family and of the Kurdish people. Choman's voice is unique, graceful, beautiful. And you can hear her read at The Poet's Letter Poetry Performance in London on 11 April.
