Poetry

mouthy is what I am experimentally going to call a ‘triplet’. A collection of three prose poems written in Bahamian dialect that center around a common topic.
mouthy is comprised of sweet tooth, sour tongue, and mouth wash which mash mother, father, and gender issues into a wider spread analogy about dental hygiene. Somehow the two mashed together in a way I couldn’t expect and it only seemed right after it was written.
You can read sweet tooth, sour tongue, and mouth wash in Issue 4 of Arrival Magazine!
Arrival is a new online literary magazine led by a collective of students in Humber College’s Bachelor of Creative and Professional Writing program.
