TEMPORAL ANOMALIES explores Blackness as a diaspora of time and space. While the three sections loosely correspond to past, present, and future, time roves and slips in fragments and amalgams. The poems search for a sense of belonging within these displacements, finding inspiration in history, science fiction, myth, and the real and imagined geographies that shape the speaker's ever-shifting map of self. "These poems are a wild and joyous embrace from Chaos. Reaching past theory, Matt Broaddus raises the ecstatic stakes of the lyric. With language and consciousness so expansive, at times this feels like a great work of translation. And maybe Temporal Anomalies is a translation. A translation of time, how duration does its work on each of us and everything in our environment. Every line is alive, like a strong tentacle, each holding some wriggling electric new life in its grasp. Get ready for some brain tingles."--Marwa Helal "Matt Broaddus' Temporal Anomalies is a wonder of new language, wry humor, and experimentation in belonging. Channeling one vocabulary of time and space, Broaddus weaves together a refreshingly and deeply moving world in which the reader experiences moments of 'feeling in on it' juxtaposed alongside moments of unexpected devastation and revelation."--Rio Cortez Poetry. African & African American Studies.
