Winner of the 2010 National Book Award for Poetry

Watch for the new collection of poetry from Terrance Hayes, American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin, coming in June of 2018

In his fourth collection, Terrance Hayes investigates how we construct experience. 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. Cultural icons as diverse as Fela Kuti, Harriet Tubman, and Wallace Stevens appear with meditations on desire and history. We see Hayes testing the line between story and song in a series of stunning poems inspired by the Pecha Kucha, a Japanese presenta-tion format. This innovative collection presents the light- headedness of a mind trying to pull against gravity and time. Fueled by an imagination that enlightens, delights, and ignites, Lighthead leaves us illuminated and scorched.

Booo
Color: Pink, Size: Medium
Way too big for, I'm so bummed because this knit polo long sleeve shirt is way too big, even after I checked the size guide. It's a shame because the material feels pretty nice. I was really looking forward to wearing this. I can exchange it for a smaller size and that was too big. Lol

Nice Look
Color: White, Size: XX-Large
I love this sweater and everything about it. I purchased for family Christmas photos. I was worried it wouldn't look right or would fit too big. It fitted perfectly and gave me a very casual look. The color is white and not an off white. The quality is good and the fabric durable. It's stretchy so its flexible with your body movements. I highly recommend this sweater I'd you're looking for a light casual look. I recommend pairing with some jeans and a nice pair of boots.
