“some ekphrastic evening, this’ll be both criticism and poetry
and failing that fall somewhere that seem like in
between.” So writes poet, critic, theorist, and MacArthur
fellow Fred Moten in his latest poetry collection perennial
fashion presence falling. Much like the poems
found in The Feel Trio (Letter Machine 2014), which was a
National Book Award finalist, and All That Beauty (Letter Machine,
2019), the poems here present Moten’s “shaped prose” on the
page and the dizzying brilliance of both polyphonies and
paronomasia. Within this collection, the poems hold an innate
quantum curiosity about the infinitude of the present and the ways
in which one could observe the history of the future. Poems beget
poems, overflowing and flowering, urging deeper etymological
investigations. In perennial fashion presence
falling, Moten approaches the sublime, relishing that intermediary
space of microtonal thought.
