Tongue-twisters
A book for those who like
to sharpen their tongue,

to know more than their mother tongue.

What they say
In this multilingual anthology, a whole broad collection of tongue-twisteres from the oral tradition are recovered, accompanied by visual and graphic games which also explore some relevant linguistic aspects (…) In terms of graphics, the experimental nature of the publication and its technique are worth mentioning, with their clear affinities with a visual, concrete poetics, exploring various typographical elements and allowing for different kinds of reading and associations to be made.
