What is Whose Broken Is This? about?

‘Passant’s words are marching songs. They speak for the dispossessed, across Terra Nullius, out of the factories, through wars and generations, to the ruins of Aleppo. Their rhythm is that of resistance, against the state, against prejudice, but for our common humanity. While at times necessarily bleak in outlook – “we are not in hell, we are alive” – they contain an unrestrained joy and faith, and an irresistible confidence for the future: “We are many, they are alone.” A place where the hearts of the masses will always overcome the greed of the few: the wondrous dream from a mighty pen.’ – James Walton, poet ‘John is a mature and experienced writer of political analysis and he brings this keen sense of observation to his poetry. He is also a reflective poet, writing the personal with pathos, but without sentimentality, thus establishing universal connections for the reader.’ – Sara Moss, poet and editor ‘The Awesome have been honoured to collaborate musically with John Passant on a number of occasions, including the National  Folk Festival 2018, and plan a collaborative album very soon. Passant’s poetry is at once thought-provoking, sensitive, brutal, honest and always hopeful. T
