"Hayes leaves resonance cleaving the air." -NPR In these works
based on his Bagley Wright lectures on the poet Etheridge Knight,
Terrance Hayes offers not quite a biography but a compilation "as
speculative, motley, and adrift as Knight himself." Personal yet
investigative, poetic yet scholarly, this multi-genre collection of
writings and drawings enacts one poet's search for another and in
doing so constellates a powerful vision of black literature and art
in America. The future Etheridge Knight biographer will
simultaneously write an autobiography. Fathers who go missing and
fathers who are distant will become the bones of the stories. There
will be a fable about a giant who grew too tall to be kissed by his
father. My father must have kissed me when I was boy. I can't
really say. . . . By the time I was eleven or even ten years old I
was as tall as him. I was six inches taller than him by the time I
was fifteen. My biography about Knight would be about intimacy,
heartache. Terrance Hayes is the author of How to Be Drawn, which
received a 2016 NAACP Image Award for Poetry; Lighthead, which won
the 2010 National Book Award for poetry; and three other
award-winning poetry collections. He is the poetry editor at the
New York Times Magazine and also teaches at the University y of
Pittsburgh. American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin will
also be forthcoming in 2018.
