An Afternoon Q&A with Terrance Hayes!
We were so excited when our friends at Carnegie Library let us know that (National Book Award-winning!) poet Terrance Hayes is coming back to Pittsburgh for a free Q&A at CLP’s lecture hall in Oakland this February 10th!
It’s difficult to fit all of Hayes’ accolades into one short intro—he’s a Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow, and a winner of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work (alongside a long list of other poetry awards). He was the Poetry Editor for the New York Times and guest editor of a Best American Poetry anthology… and he was just recently confirmed as a series editor of the prestigious Pitt Poetry Series.
As one of literary Pittsburgh’s shining stars, this is one you don’t want to miss!
Your friends in books,
“Join us for a multimedia author event and Q&A with Poet Terrance Hayes. Hayes is an elegant and adventurous writer with disarming humor, grace, tenderness, and brilliant turns of phrase and is very much interested in what it means to be an artist and a Black man.”
