Description

Astonishing and muscular, this sequence by Terrance Hayes begins with the poet's own history, weaving together domestic visions, stories of love and loss, tributes to the fallen, and blistering denunciations of oppression. With over 70 poems, each titled 'American Sonnet for my Past and Future Assassin', Hayes navigates the complexities of the human experience.

The result is a living picture of the whole self, and the whole human, with all its contradictions and divisions. This book is compassionate, hilarious, melancholy, and bewildered - and yet, rhythmically compelling in its exploration of the world we live in today.
