This book charts a journey in language that is rich in contemporary African-Canadian rhythms and poly-rhythms. At times, Brathwaite uses a specific idiom located within Hip Hop styling. In some poems, strict, standard English is put to the service of telling a story. Motion in Poetry reads like a swaying, Hip Hop ride through life, love, raw desire, political irony, fiery emotions about race, class, and gender, touching sadness, and sweet, dry humour. Brathwaite is well-established in the Hip Hop genre of poetry.
