Nicodemus Nicoludis' gorgeous debut"Multicene"meditates on eco-grief, the weather, and intimacy as loss. His poetry-which fledges itself alongside Lisa Robertson, George Oppen, Forrest Gander, and Richard Brautigan-feels like a tsunami washing away the shore. A copy of this book should be included in every climate doomsday kit and upon the shelf of any poet entering life after the Anthropocene. - Claire Donato
In this very thoughtful and loving book, the speaker tells us: "I am dressed up / like a poet / And I am dreaming / of staying awake / for days to work," and we quickly discover this important work of the Multicene is nothing other than the interrogation "of deep time." The implicit politics shot through these gorgeous and multifaceted poems preform a kind of pyscho-ecology. That is to say, consciousness itself is equally a form of the "natural" world. Nicodemus Nicoludis is a highly gifted poet, the nuanced thoughtfulness in every line is hard-won and moving. It is a stunning debut. - Peter Gizzi
In "Multicene," Nicodemus Nicoludis' involute debut collection of poems, the Earth is not given to us to think about, but it is the Earth that has yielded this thinking itself, "the world in catastrophe humming out / morbid centos in patterns of weather." I love this realignment of poetic vision where "[every] night the Earth rewrites this poem" and "blooming nowtopias / spontaneously [graft] / free will onto / the side of a highway." From the strange hope of its opening strophes to its magnificent final long poem, "The Weather," "Multicene" tracks the vitality in the quickening spiral of climate disaster, never catastrophizing nor didactic but "[finding] something worth living for / if only to produce more living..." - Ted Dodson
