Summary/Abstract: This book is featuring poetry from queer Iranians in exile in Turkey, the UK, and Canada. These poems are the outcomes of group workshops, whether in person or remotely created as part of the research project “Negotiating Queer Identities Following Forced Migration” (NQIfFM). They vividly portray the participants’ experiences of persecution and discrimination based on their sexual orientation, gender identity or sex characteristics, both in Iran, which they were forced to leave, and in the countries of transition or resettlement.
