The Little Edges is a collection of poems that extends poet Fred
Moten's experiments in what he calls "shaped prose"-a way of
arranging prose in rhythmic blocks, or sometimes shards, in the
interest of audio-visual patterning. Shaped prose is a form that
works the "little edges" of lyric and discourse, and radiates out
into the space between them. As occasional pieces, many of the
poems in the book are the result of a request or commission to
comment upon a work of art, or to memorialize a particular moment
or person. In Moten's poems, the matter and energy of a singular
event or person are transformed by their entrance into the social
space that they, in turn, transform. An online reader's companion
is available at http://fredmoten.site.wesleyan.edu.
