Triage

Stunning... an extended meditation on the collective devastation of the present. The beauty of Rankine’s dense, elliptical sentences guides us through -- Saidiya Hartman
Claudia Rankine’s lines profoundly question the validity and viability of ‘these truths,’ whether spoken in faith or twisted out of shape. Rankine’s body poetic refuses the compromises and consolations of the body politic. Triage is her elegiac anti-memoir of ‘these times’ -- Homi K. Bhabha
A masterwork, faultless and taut, that stitches together a fractured, aching world with precise and subtle language that refuses to ever falter under the weight of the profundity of Claudia Rankine’s conclusions. Her genius takes on the deepest questions of our spirits -- Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah, Pulitzer-Prize winner for Feature Writing 2018
