String by Matthew Thorburn
A book-length sequence of poems, Matthew Thorburns String tells the story of a teenage boys experiences in a time of war and its aftermath. Written in the boys fractured, echoing voice, String embodies his trauma and confusion in a poetic sequence that is part lullaby, part nightmare, but always a music that is uniquely his.
