Sounding The Tongue

By Sterling Lynch

How many poems does it take for a young man to find his voice? Sounding the Tongue features eighteen frank and revealing poems finalized by the award winning playwright between 1994 and 2001. Filled with longing, frustration, and struggle, these poems are a kind of prequel to his novel A Derivation of Love and are a unique glimpse into the interior life of an artist struggling to come into being.
