Malik Wilson’s 6th book of poetry finds him in fine form – perusing, explicating, wondering, considering – and in his latest vein, paying tribute to all manner of life, experiences, and things. A kind of Song of Myself for the laggard, distant Generation X set, tiered through ribbons of maleness, Washington, DC, late African American life and physical, aesthetic, and spiritual pleasure, The Tribute Years is an early summation of Malik’s oeuvre – a gourmand of life with juice-streaked lips, with a resonant refusal, and even pride, at placing down anything less than a kind of totemic intellectual and philosophical promiscuity.
This occasion is also the launch of Takoma's first publishing season. Fall 2025 will feature the launch of our African American Lives Series on October 5th, and 24 other titles we know you'll enjoy. Please stay tuned and remember to check our calendar.
