A powerful, timely, dazzling collection of sonnets from one of America's most acclaimed poets, Terrance Hayes, the National Book Award-winning author of Lighthead.

In 70 poems bearing the same title, Terrance Hayes explores the meanings of American, of assassin, and of love in the sonnet form. Written during the first two hundred days of the Trump presidency, these poems are haunted by the country's past and future eras and errors, its dreams and nightmares. Inventive, compassionate, hilarious, melancholy, and bewildered - the wonders of this new collection are irreducible and stunning.

This poetry is rich and deeply allegorical. The best book of modern poetry I have ever read! I will have to listen a couple more times in order to understand all of the symbolism and allegory. I am a white person who is deeply sensitive to the plight and struggle of black people and this would also be a great book for black readers. Not sure if it would be good for kids. It would depend on their age I suppose. Outstanding book!

Extremely talented writing

A tour of the inside of a Angry Black Man’s Mind and Heart that must be heard over and over again to digest the meaning of every well-chosen word and phrase.

It deserves Five Stars. I gave the Story Component only Four due to my inability to grasp some of the Sonnets, though the language was so great that I went back again and again. Take a chance on this Poet and read his other works.

Stream of Black Consciousness

The collection itself is fantastic. However the audiobook contains an error—Sonnet 9 is missing and what is in the audiobook as Sonnet 9 is just Sonnet 7 again.

There are searing, powerful images here. Beautiful images. Stark truths that dare you to shut up and listen. This book is a celebration, an indictment, a gift.

Lyrical and powerful
