'Vital and energetic . . . These are the poems of a certain age: scars so old others must tell you how they are made . . . Hayes is a singular poet and this book a singular achievement' Nick LairdA dazzling new collection of poems from the T. S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted author of American Sonnets for My Past and Future AssassinIn So to Speak the dazzling new collection by Terrance Hayes the poet seeks to understand how we see ourselves now. He draws the reader into fabulous fables American sonnets and do-it-yourself sestinas as he roves among the predicaments of the present and recent past piecing together a new map of our times.Here a tree frog sings to overcome its fear of birds. Talking cats tell jokes in the Jim Crow South. Green beans bling in the mouth of Lil Wayne and elegies for David Berman and George Floyd unfold amid the global pandemic. Here too Hayes contemplates fatherhood history and longing in urgent personal poems of a remarkable openness and humanity.Masterful contemplative and massively alive So to Speak shows one of contemporary poetry's great innovators at his muscular best. It is a treasure-trove of exploration and an invitation to each of us to engage in the creativity that makes and remakes our world. It is above all the mature restless work of a leading poetic voice.
