Tongues Tied
poetry + art
"They padded their way into adulthood;
growing up, they learned to line what they felt."
Lauren Ducrey's first chapbook, is a collection of thinking, often philosophizing, poems. It explores how the conversation between poetry and art has a unique ability to reconcile the analytical mind with a sense of playfulness and intuition. Full of contemplation of the relational, we find a speaker looking to understand the different selves within her, within others, and the world.
Under the art direction of David Cocciante (Supereasy Studio) with artwork by Erwan de Beauchaine, Tongues Tied invites those who don’t instinctively feel at home in the poetry section to take a moment and explore what it would feel like for all of us to belong here.
