MUTTERTONGUE: WHAT IS A WORD IN UTTER SPACE
June 5, 2025

Muttertongue: what is a word in utter space by Lillian Allen (a dub poet, writer, and Juno Award winner), Gary Barwin (poet, writer, composer, multimedia artist, performer, and educator), and Gregory Betts (whose writing explores the boundaries between self, other, and alien – the radical other) is a collaborative collection that crackles in its exploration of land, language, and page space. Combining the intensity of Dub Poetry with the intricacies of experimental poetics, this album is the sonorous soundscape partner of the collection of the same name (Exile Editions, 2025).

Vinyl edition includes exclusive track: "What What What What".

Come join us in the Tranzac’s Main Hall at 7:30p.m. to hear Muttertongue live! With support by TETC and Poet’s Workout Soundsystem. Tickets available via Eventbrite here.
