Fiction Poetry
Poetry. African American Studies. "Reading theses poems, you'll think the stereo is on--their music is that sure and rich, exuberant and sorrowful in turns, full of a sexual sway. Terrance Hayes takes us through a living library of cultural icons, from Shaft and Fat Albert to Coltrane and Miles Davis, but we always end up at the heart, where damage and tenderness mix, where lonliness becomes a blood tie. His generous vision finds beauty in our most flawed gestures"--Betsy Sholl, author of THE RED LINE and DON'T EXPLAIN. Terrance Hayes is a native of South Carolina. He received his MFA from the University of Pittsburgh in 1997 and has published in a range of literary journals and anthologies. MUSCULAR MUSIC is his first book.
