“Noah Falck is a singular voice in contemporary American poetry. His poems will unsettle you as they sing to you with a subtle, lilting, and inimitable lyricism.”
—Kristina Marie Darling, author of Silent Refusal: Essays on Contemporary Feminist Writing
“Falck invites us to see with more feeling, to grin with more bearing, to care like it can change us. ‘The heart is the most donated organ,’ he writes; in this book of absences, the heart is never missing.”
—Zach Savich, author of Full Catastrophe Living
“Noah Falck's poems are fraught machines that crack and fizzle, that think deeply and resist the low ground, that come from a place of uncanny wildness and heft.”
—Natalie Shapero, author of Popular Longing
“Exclusions keeps us off balance, stumbling forward, and absolutely alive with both the inventive possibilities of lyric poetry and that rare experience of watching the genre redefine itself in a pair of this art’s most capable hands.”
—Michael McGriff, author of Eternal Sentences
“Falck’s gloom’s a playful one, and his Exclusions creep into and around our midst in order to ask a little something of us. Gentle, but jarring, these poems let us in to where we are. The password is you.”
—Graham Foust, author of Nightingalelessness
