Hip Logic Av Terrance Hayes

<b>The second collection of poetry from the author of <i>Lighthead</i>, winner of the 2010 National Book Award<br><br>Watch for the new collection of poetry from Terrance Hayes, <i>American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin</i>, coming in June of 2018<br><br></b>Terrance Hayes is a dazzlingly original poet, interested in adventurous explorations of subject and form. His new work, <i>Hip Logic</i>, is full of poetic tributes to the likes of Paul Robeson, Big Bird, Balthus, and Mr. T, as well as poems based on the anagram principle of words within a word. Throughout, Hayes''s verse dances in a kind of homemade music box, with notes that range from tender to erudite, associative to narrative, humorous to political. <i>Hip Logic</i> does much to capture the nuances of contemporary male African American identity and confirms Hayes''s reputation as one of the most compelling new voices in American poetry.
