The Hide of My Tongue, Ax L'óot' Doogú

The Hide of My Tongue explores the historical and contemporary effects of the loss of one of the world’s most complex languages: Tlingit

  "In The Hide of My Tongue, Vivian Faith Prescott shows the struggles of specific Tlingit people to retain, relearn, speak and respect their language in all its richness. Her powerful poems restore language to its proper place—on people's tongues, and in the heart and soul of everyone who values words.—Peggy Shumaker, Alaska Writer Laureate, author of "Just Breathe Normally" and "Gnawed Bones."
