American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin (Penguin Poets)

Terrance Hayes' American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin is a powerful, timely, and dazzling collection of sonnets that reckon with Donald Trump's America.

Inventive, compassionate, hilarious, melancholy, and bewildered, these poems play with different registers but return to lamentation, annihilating grief for 'all the black people I'm tired of losing.' 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.

With this incomparable collection, Hayes joins others in taking on the sonnet, reinvigorating its form and reimagining the possibilities of American literature.
