Winner of the 2010 National Book Award for Poetry In his fourth collection, Terrance Hayes investigates how we construct experience.
Fueled by an imagination that enlightens, delights, and ignites, Lighthead leaves us illuminated and scorched.".
This innovative collection presents the light- headedness of a mind trying to pull against gravity and time.
We see Hayes testing the line between story and song in a series of stunning poems inspired by the Pecha Kucha, a Japanese presentation format.
Cultural icons as diverse as Fela Kuti, Harriet Tubman, and Wallace Stevens appear with meditations on desire and history.
With one foot firmly grounded in the everyday and the other hovering in the air, his poems braid dream and reality into a poetry that is both dark and buoyant.
