Unmuted

Unmuted is a collection of poems by David Andrew Tittle, written for the places where people have been told to stay quiet. His subjects are identity, memory, resistance and belonging, and he examines the borders of family, culture and history while declining to look away from injustice.

The poems range from personal reflections on grief and survival to sharp criticism of social and political silence. They are tender in places and biting in others, and together they follow a voice that was once pushed to the margins and now questions, resists and claims its own space.

Direct but humane, the collection is meant to serve readers as a set of blueprints, mirrors and maps for getting through a world that so often demands quiet.
