Tudeprins is a poetry collection that carves out space for men's emotional lives. It places insecurities at the forefront in poems about being young and uncertain, feeling sad, and being vulnerable.

But it's a peculiar word, "Tudeprins." A word with a lot of tensions. On one hand, it's about making boys who cry seem wrong. On the other hand, there's an egocentric and privilege-blind narrowness to it.

The vision with "Tudeprins" is quite simple. The word 'Tudeprins' is meant to be reclaimed so that we don't label men's emotions as wrong or allow them to be locked away and invisible. And that's what this poetry collection aims to do. It's a possible opening to share feelings with each other. "Tudeprins" has come into the world to show that it's okay to be vulnerable. That vulnerability always has its justification.
