Joke Book

On 6th January 2025 The Silent Academy will publish a new collection of poetry from Tessa Berring.

”Joke Book” is an expression of Berring’s love of the joke form as a miniature conversation or unfamiliar exchange. Momentary pieces of theatre, a joke can turn language over and onto its side, revealing both the lightness of a word and the unfixed nature of meaning.

Available anywhere you can buy print media (but not Amazon) and directly here from the Silent Academy online store.
