Dionne Brand's poetry makes scalar leaps from the 'eroding present' and the 'intimacy of history' to 'unknown galaxies' and 'as yet unarmed moons'. With a consciousness that is attuned to this world and open to some other, possibly future, time and place, Brand's ongoing labours of witness and imagination speak directly to where and how we live and reach beyond those worlds, their enclosures, and their violences. With a critical introduction by scholar and theorist Christina Sharpe, 'Nomenclature' is the searing volume spanning a decades-long career, from 1982-2022, and gathering the new and collected poems of one of Canada's most honoured, significant and bestselling poets.
