‘It is Not What a’ — Mary Ruefle Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Oversized Tee

“It is not what a poem says with its mouth, it’s what a poem does with its eyes.” Mary Ruefle offered this in her 2012 essay collection Madness, Rack, and Honey, separating what a poem states from the harder-to-name thing its attention performs.

**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).
