In Her Own Native Tongue : 180 Poems

In Her Own Native Tongue is a collection of poetry and prose by Teresa Prins-Wood. Written over the past twenty years and finally organized into book form, this work is an example of American Poetry of the twenty first century and demonstrates the captivating, story-telling quality of free verse and the melodic feel of classic prose. Owning a book of poetry is somewhat like owning recorded music: The first time around, you might find only one or two songs (poems) that really catch your attention. Then, as time goes by and you give it another 'try', you may be surprised that yet another, a different one, seems to speak to you. And then one day, you put on the music (or open your book) and there is one work of poetry that seems as if it was written for you, written about you, and it becomes your new favorite! Give it time, you may be surprised to find yourself somewhere in each and every poem contained in In Her Own Native Tongue.
