How to Be Drawn Penguin Poets Terrance Hayes Books

Hayes’s virtuosity and inventiveness remind us that the best poets go their own way – remaking form and refashioning language to do their bidding. These poems – about race and cultures and life and death and God-knows-what-else – gather momentum driven on by an impeccable ear for rhythm and images bursting into bloom like rare flowers. Hayes references Whitman and Emerson, but also MLK and hip-hop, Malcolm X and Mayakovsky. One poem here is in the style of a crime report, while “Instructions for a Seance with Vladimirs” is unlike any poem you’ve seen or heard. For all Hayes's originality, I think the poems that stick to a more traditional structure here are the strongest. “How to Draw an Invisible Man” is a single beautifully-cadenced sentence that goes on for forty-one lines and gradually gains in power, and "Barberism" is just brilliant. This is a poet at the top of his game. (jjawilson.wordpress.com)

How to Be Drawn Penguin Poets Terrance Hayes Books Reviews

Crazy fun to read and skillfully composed.
There is a great deal to be learned about modern poetry from this writer. Rebecca Newth
Brilliant!
Terrance Hayes is a genius.His poetry demonstrates his social conscience,unpretentious and fluid aesthetic sensibility.
Hayes’ playfulness (through punning and free association, for example) and characteristic formal daring add a real richness to the truths he captures. Wonderful work, here.
Terrance Hayes is one of our best poets. His readings are electric. There are some truly great poems in How To Be Drawn, but not all in the book are home runs. Some poems are a bit non-linear and harder to follow. But, throughout the book, a sense of urgency and vitality is maintained very well. After reading a few of the really great poems though, the reader expects them all to be great, but I guess it is a little too much to ask of any writer.
Hayes has some great lines, but oftentimes his poems suffer from a lack of editing, which takes away from the overall impact of many of the poems. The section on Mayakovsky feels completely out of place, and does nothing for the overall trajectory of the collection.
