Hayes was then an undergrad at a small South Carolina college. He has since published four highly honored books of poetry, is a professor of poetry at the University of Pittsburgh, has appeared multiple times in the series, and is one of today’s most decorated poets. His brazen, restless poems capture the diversity of American culture with singular artistry, grappling with facile assumptions about identity and the complex repercussions of race history in this country.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Always eagerly anticipated, the 2014 volume of \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e begins with David Lehman’s “state-of-the-art” foreword followed by an inspired introduction from Terrance Hayes on his picks for the best American poems of the past year. Following the poems is the apparatus for which the series has won acclaim: notes from the poets about the writing of their poems.","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43404863471871,"sku":"9781476708171","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_76506181-f9ab-44c6-84ca-c2f4ecb7cbde.jpg?v=1717346904","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781476708171","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
