Sublingual Syllabus

In Sublingual Syllabus, the moon coos sweet solace in a chilly glow and blades of grass conspire together to consider the author’s relationship to the universe. This collection of poetry by Kevin Unstruck—with illustrations by their child, Briel—visits themes of meaning, dream, and memory through wordplay and dramatic switchbacks. A spoken word artist, Unstruck examines existential quandaries, mourning, pop culture, and politics, often in the rhyming style of their live performances.
