Overview

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.

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.–Rebecca Ariel Porte "The Los Angeles Review of Books"
