Speaking in Tongues Summary

Speaking in Tongues by Laura Taylor

Laura's third collection with Flapjack Press is a rallying call for action and challenges inequality, oppression and division with passion, objectivity, empathy and humour. This is socially conscious and uncompromising poetry, which explores the slippery and inconclusive condition of language, the power of ideology and the process of myth-making, addressing the wellbeing of a diverse nation governed by a political and social elite and their culpability.

Speaking in Tongues Reviews

This is Taylor at her best. Her energy, anger and passion are apparent in every word. Her writing is urgent, powerful and her punches land. A must-have collection. Buy this book. Emma Purshouse, poet laureate for Wolverhampton; Poems to have a beer with, to sit round a fire and keep warm with, to rage against the system with, to take to the streets with. Steph Pike, poet; Tongues of fire in a time of plague. Raging against conspiracy theorists, defending the vulnerable, the homeless, the old, the hardest hit in the worst of times. A supremely clever working-class poet. Attila the Stockbroker, poet & musician; If there was an equivalent of Masterchef for cooking words into exquisitely tasty and surprising dishes, then Taylor would win it. Hot. Flavourful. Authentic. Instant pleasure with a long, lingering aftertaste. Janine Booth, poet & writer; At times forceful, at others lyrical ... crosses from personal to political and cross-examines who we were and who we have become. Winston Plowes, poet; This is Taylor's best yet. Her language is lush and confident, and her range is limitless ... wise, honest, funny, angry, mature and assured. This book is the tonic we all need. Cathy Thomas-Bryant, poet & writer
