November 20, 2009 marks the official release date for Tongue For Folie, the second full-length collection of poetry by North Country Native Janice Brabaw.  Her sophomore effort appears shortly on the heels of her debut publication, Universe, Disturbed, which critics hailed as "full of raw emotion," "fine, powerful original poetry,"  "soft and fine like silk laced with strychnine" and "Prozac Nation in verse." 

Tongue for Folie is Universe, Disturbed all grown up - but yet still seeking, still struggling.  Now at thirty, Brabaw doesn't claim to have any answers to the questions posed in her earlier works, but continues to explore emotional quagmires with a rare grace, an open heart, and a captivating insight that infuses every line of her poetry.  Her work is deeply personal but yet universally appealing with its brutal candor and stripped-down humanity.
