A stirring collection of poetry that will appeal to fans of The Sobbing School and A Fortune for Your Disaster.They Talk Different Here, Etienne Toussaint’s much anticipated second collection of poetry, explores the journey of sons and daughters of immigrants across the contemporary American urban landscape. Each poem strings together a complex and rich story of the interiority of oppressed communities. A dynamic representation of figures with diverse ages and experiences are placed in conversation across the page, reflecting a shared search for belonging in a nation of foreign tongues. With poetic narrative storytelling that is simultaneously personal and political, They Talk Different Here provides a searing polemic against narratives of poverty in an age of social unrest. Toussaint’s work is a clarion call for empathy and love. But most of all, it bears witness to the immigrant’s unwavering quest for freedom.
