Checking Availibility...Description
Part of our revived "Poetry Pamphlet Series", Sorting Facts is Susan Howe's masterful meditation on the filmmaker Chris Marker, whose film stills are interspersed throughout. An excerpt: Sorting word-facts I only know an apparition. Scribble grammar has no neighbor. In the name of reason I need to record something because I am a survivor in this ocean.

Reviews
"One way of understanding Sorting Facts as it appears in this cultural moment -- though surely different times and subsequent readings will fade certain colors and deepen others -- is as a premonitory exegesis of this registration of the fact of Marker's death. And so to encounter the essay now is to see in it a memory of the future: a premonition of an annotation."
