A dazzling new collection of poetry by Terrance Hayes, the National Book Award winning author of Lighthead.

In How to Be Drawn, his daring fifth collection, Hayes explores how we see and are seen. While many of these poems bear the clearest imprint yet of Hayes’ background as a visual artist, they do not strive to describe art so much as inhabit it. The formal and emotional versatilities that distinguish Hayes’ award-winning poetry are unified by existential focus. Simultaneously complex and transparent, urgent and composed, How to Be Drawn is a mesmerizing achievement.
