520    "Spanning almost four decades, Dionne Brand's poetry has 
       given rise to whole new grammars and vocabularies. With a 
       profound alertness that is attuned to this world and open 
       to some other, possibly future, time and place, Brand's 
       ongoing labors of witness and imagination speak directly 
       to where and how we live and reach beyond those worlds, 
       their enclosures, and their violences.Nomenclature: New 
       and Collected Poems begins with a new long poem, the 
       titular Nomenclature for the time being, in which Dionne 
       Brand's diaspora consciousness dismantles our quotidian 
       disasters. In addition to this searing new work, 
       Nomenclature collects eight volumes of Brand's poetry 
       published between 1983 and 2010 and includes a critical 
       introduction by the literary scholar and theorist 
       Christina Sharpe.Nomenclature: New and Collected Poems, 
       features the searching and centering cantos of Primitive 
       Offensive; the sharp musical conversations of Winter 
       Epigrams and Epigrams to Ernesto Cardenal in Defense of 
       Claudia; the documentary losses of revolutions in 
       Chronicles of the Hostile Sun, in which "The street was 
       empty/with all of us standing there." No Language Is 
       Neutral reads language, coloniality, and sexuality as a 
       nexus. Land to Light On writes intimacies and 
       disaffections with nation, while in thirsty a cold-eyed 
       flâneur surveys the workings of the city. In Inventory, 
       written during the Gulf Wars, the poet is "the wars' late 
       and last night witness," her job not to soothe but to 
       "revise and revise this bristling list/hourly." Ossuaries'
       futurist speaker rounds out the collection, and threads 
       multiple temporal worlds-past, present, and future.This 
       masterwork displays Dionne Brand's ongoing body of thought
       -trenchant, lyrical, absonant, discordant, and meaning-
       making. Nomenclature: New and Collected Poems is classic 
       and living, a record of one of the great writers of our 
       age"--|cProvided by publisher.
