Terrances Hayes reads new, uncollected poems together with poems from his most recent books: American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin (2018), Watch Your Language: Visual and Literary Reflections on a Century of American Poetry (2023), and So to Speak (2023). Several poems center on writers who have influenced Hayes' work, and the American sonnet form recurs throughout the reading.
