Reviews
Praise for Tongo Eisen-Martin and Heaven Is All Goodbyes: "Eisen-Martin''s impeccable collection is a crucial document of this time."--Publishers Weekly,starred review "Eisen-Martin is singing in dark times about dark times. Every poem pops with rightly sad inscrutability"--Chicago Tribune "Eisen-Martin''s voice is a chorus of other voices, many arising from prisons and landscapes of engineered poverty; his poems are places where discourses and vernaculars collide and recombine into new configurations capable of expressing outrage and sorrow and love. This unpredictable volume is equally a work of commitment and of wonder; no false consolation, no settling for despair. Its music makes a clearing in the dominant logic of the day."--Griffin Poetry Prizes Judges'' Citation "The tesseraic language of Tongo Eisen-Martin''s Heaven Is All Goodbyes brings a new, shared articulation to the intricacies and interconnections of grief and life, speech and site, state and inhabitant, violence and landscape. Here, polyvocal assemblages gather and revolt against our ''porcelain epoch / succeeding for the most part / dying for the most part / married for the most part to its death.'' This is resistance as sound."--Claudia Rankine "I don''t know that there is a living writer whose work loves Black people as much as Tongo Eisen-Martin''s work loves us. In Heaven Is All Goodbyes, like all of Eisen-Martin''s work, this Black love is not clumsy, easy, sentimental or reliant on spectacle. That Black love lives in the cracked history and ambient future of who we''ve been in the dark, and what''s been done to us in the light. These poems somehow watch and listen without intervening. And when they ask, they ask everything. Heaven Is All Goodbyes makes me want to live, and write, with us forever."--Kiese Laymon "What a wonderful feeling for life. If we are born--we will die. If we love--we will be rejected. If we are rejected--we will leave. The balance of these poems, one against another, gives us laughter, love and hope. Heaven isn''t goodbye--it''s only the next stop on our heart''s journey."--Nikki Giovanni "Tongo Eisen-Martin''s poems are echo chambers of vernaculars and unofficial languages. He both registers the damage caused by systemic racism and evinces--and by his work extends--the rich modes of resistance that rise up to meet it. His is a poetry of total commitment that never becomes merely programmatic and instead stretches the possibilities of meaning to the far edge of sense, where they become music."--Ben Lerner "Yet again Tongo Eisen-Martin employs his blade-sharp intellect, his wry and piercing wit and unflinching candor to make poems that matter. This collection demands that the reader sees more than themselves--both on the page and in the surrounding world. The poems beg to be read aloud, to be pronounced as spells and incantations, as reports back from communities both known and shrouded. Read this work. Then read it again. Again. Again."--Chinaka Hodge author of Dated Emcees "This striking new work from Tongo Eisen-Martin is a timely reminder of Amiri Baraka''s call for poems that are useful, poems that breathe like wrestlers. At every turn, Heaven Is All Goodbyes demands that we engage the systemic violence woven into our daily living right alongside the persistent force that is black social life, the joy that everyday people cultivate against unthinkable odds. In a moment marked by cynicism and disenchantment, Eisen-Martin remains a believer: in the commons, in collective struggle, in our capacity to flourish in the midst of what we were never meant to survive."--Joshua Bennett, author of The Sobbing School "Eisen-Martin''s poetry presents a frank and unflinching portrait of the contemporary urban imagination unrelentingly ravaged by social injustice. He serves witness to how prevalent the imbalances of race and power in our society are."--American Poetry Review
