From the author:

“Tongue Eclipse is a collection of poems that aims to be a guide-book to reconstruct the world around us if/when it’s destroyed one day. A new world is possible only with “a new poetic tongue” –probably mostly made of silence. ”

Explain your book to a kindergartener:

Once there was a spider who wanted to know the name of everything so that she wouldn’t use the word thing. If something didn’t have a name, she gave a name to that thing. So, nothing is called anymore a “thing”. This book is written by a poet who wants name & rename everything around so that he can have a day without a thing. Can you have a day without a thing?
