‘I Always Come to Poetry’ — Joy Harjo Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“I always come to poetry when I have no words.” Joy Harjo — the first Native American U.S. Poet Laureate — said this in a 2023 interview, naming the paradox that she reaches for poems exactly where ordinary language fails. For her the wordless moment is where the real writing starts: poetry begins where speech runs out.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
