Artist statement
Mother Tongue is a book of poetry and painting by Mimi Kunz, published by The Kyoudai Press (November 2024). In Mother Tongue, Mimi Kunz tells the story of her daughter's birth and first year of life. Through her poetry and painting, she meditates on the question "So what's it like, this love?"
