Malik Wilson’s 6th book of poetry finds him in fine form – perusing, explicating, wondering, considering – and in his latest vein, paying tribute to all manner of life, experiences, and things. A kind of Song of Myself for the laggard, distant Generation X set, tiered through ribbons of maleness, Washington, DC late African American life and physical, aesthetic, and spiritual pleasure, The Tribute Years is an early summation of Malik’s oeuvre – a gourmand of life with wine-streaked lips, and a resonant hope, and even refusal, to offer anything less than a totemic and consummating offering - a housing declaration to remain and stay forever.
