‘Poetry is Language at its’ — Rita Dove Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Oversized Tee

“Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful.” Rita Dove — the first Black U.S. Poet Laureate, appointed in 1993 — has long defended poetry as language boiled down to its most concentrated form. Every word carries maximum weight, which is what makes a poem land harder than a paragraph ten times its size.

**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).
