Hip Logic by Terrance Hayes

Hip Logic by Terrance Hayes

The second collection of poetry from the author ofLighthead, winner of the 2010 National Book Award

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

Terrance Hayes is a dazzlingly original poet, interested in adventurous explorations of subject and form. His new work, Hip Logic, 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. Hip Logic 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.

Lighthead, by Terrance Hayes, won the National Book Award in 2010 and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Wind in a Box, Hip Logic, and Muscular Music are his other novels. A National Endowment for the Arts Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a 2014 MacArthur Fellowship are among his accolades. His most recent book of poems, How To Be Drawn, was a finalist for the 2015 National Book Award and won the NAACP Image Award for Poetry in 2016.
