‘If Prose is a House,’ — Anne Carson Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“If prose is a house, poetry is a man on fire running quite fast through it.” Asked in a 2016 Guardian interview to define poetry, Anne Carson answered with an image instead: motion and danger tearing through the orderly rooms that prose so carefully builds. Her definition keeps moving, which is the truest thing it could say about its subject.

**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).
