An experimental first novel of poem-like compression, Annotations has a great deal to say about growing up Black in St. Louis. Reminiscent of Jean Toomer's Cane, the book is in part a meditation on African-American autobiography. Keene explores questions of identity from many angles - from race to social class to sexuality (gay and straight). Employing all manner of textual play and rhythmic and rhetorical maneuvers, he (re)creates his life story as a jazz fugue-in-words.

Holinka turned me onto Keene and, shit howdy, was I impressed. This is phantasmal writing; conjuring long-dead spirits of youthful pain. Keene's sexual-preferences are handled in a painfully imagistic fashion, and just stop your heart when you realize the levels of subjugation that take place within the subjugated. Reads like a dream-mantra, repetition and cadence being central. But that chapter at the dance; fuck, that's a heartbreaker.
