The Tribute Years, 2018-2024 by Malik Wilson
Sunday, September 20th, 6-8pm
Takoma House
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 wine-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. Come celebrate with us.
