THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT | Concept Redesign
Taylor Swift's 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department dives into the lives of victorian women who refused to adopt wholesale the codes and conventions of the male poetic tradition.
More about the concept under the cut
Theodore Turner, Thomas Bennet, Paul Wright and David Morgan founded TTPD in 1835 in New York with the hopes of making their way through the world of literature. 20 years later they found themselves being the most prolific publishing house in the city with acclaimed poems and short stories becoming an undeniable force among their female readers. No one could believe four men around the age of 30 could understand the nuances of love, heartbreak, loss and hopelessness as well as they did. But not every story has a happy ending. While the four gentleman became history and their names were positioned next to the biggest names of american poetry of the 19th century there's something that lies beneath that chronicle.
35 Women were the backbone of TTPD writing everything from poems, short stories and even clever and witty jokes that were quite hard for victorian men to grasp. While relegated to the back of the building they tried to fought for their space in the poetry world. Each publication was signed with the initials TTPD and while common readers could interpret that as the well known acronym of the company's founders they believed leaving their own trace would mean something to future writers and women across the country.
The Tortured Poets Department was born out of anger and spite yet kept going for so many years, until the company closed, because the shared love for poetry and expressing and seeing the world in a different way was cathartic for 35 women who from a young age were told to get married fast and not intefere in gentlemen's business.
This album shines a light on those women who died thinking their efforts to become someone were useless. The Tortured Poets Department dives into lives of 35 victorian women who refused to adopt wholesale the codes and conventions of the male poetic tradition and recounts the story as it should've been told in the first place.

🇮🇱 … another awful, detestable, despicable, deplorable Israeli official!! — Ben Gvir …
By: Sawssane F. Consultant Manager Organization, from LinkedIn …
“The execution of a number of arrested Palestinians, is the request that made the Israeli occupation's security minister Itamar Ben Gvir, as a solution to the overcrowded Israeli prisons and “the incarceration problem".
The type of statement that the US and other western governments seem to not be offended by while continuing to provide their political, financial and military support to the colonial regime.
Palestinians arrested for resisting a terror occupation and fighting for their dignity and independence are certainly not the ones to be labeled as "terrorists". … 🇮🇱
