About this listen

Teeth in the Silence is not a book about healing.

It’s a record of what the dark leaves behind after it feeds.

Through four parts—The Foundation, The Fracture, The Descent, and The Return—Robert Dutch carves his story like a confession whispered through cracked glass. Each poem is a room built from memory: childhood bruises, the slow collapse of self, the ghosts that learned his name, and the long crawl back toward something that might be peace.

This is not recovery polished for comfort.

It is survival told in its native tongue—mud, bone, blood, and breath.

Every line bears teeth.

Every silence hums with what was endured.

For anyone who has ever drowned quietly and called it living, Teeth in the Silence is a hand reaching through the dark, reminding you that even ruin can still breathe.
