Exclusions Paperback / softback
by Noah Falck
Paperback / softback
Description
What happens when a central part of life as we know it does not exist?
Noah Falck’s latest collection answers this question in a playfully gloomy way that reveals the strange edges of our reality.
Anyone who has experienced that rug-pulling sensation of change, of strangeness, will relate to Noah Falk’s Exclusions.
Each lyric poem “excludes” a common subject, including topics such as fiction, modern technology, answers, government, and romance.
By setting these subjects against a backdrop of obscurity and strangeness, Falck skillfully keeps readers invested and off-balance.
Exclusions brings readers into a world where “the wind is nothing more than a brilliant collection of sighs” and “the sun flattens into a sort of messy bruise over the lake.” Even excluding many of the things we take for granted, Falck’s lyric poetry includes so much: death, smoke, shadows, sadness, history.
This collection will leave readers with a changed perspective on what is necessary, and how to deal with immense change.
A 2020 Believer Book Awards Finalist, Exclusions has been praised for its ability to “[keep readers] off balance, stumbling forward, and absolutely alive with both the inventive possibilities of lyric poetry and that rare experience of watching the genre redefine itself in a pair of this art’s most capable hands.” This is a genre-defining book of poetry that allows us to look into the past, present, and future to understand “the foundations of sadness beginning with the needs of children.”
