Description

Lighthead is a thought-provoking collection of poetry from Terrance Hayes that explores how we construct experience. With one foot firmly grounded in everyday life and the other hovering in the air, his poems weave together dream and reality to create something both dark and buoyant.

The poems in this book are inspired by diverse cultural icons and meditate on desire and history, testing the line between story and song. Hayes also experiments with a unique presentation format, drawing on the Pecha Kucha style to create stunning and innovative poems.

This 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 is a powerful and thought-provoking work that leaves readers illuminated and scorched.
