Winner of the 2010 National Book Award for Poetry

Watch for the new collection of poetry from Terrance Hayes, American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin, coming in June of 2018

In his fourth collection, Terrance Hayes investigates how we construct experience. With one foot firmly grounded in the everyday and the other hovering in the air, his poems braid dream and reality into a poetry that is both dark and buoyant. Cultural icons as diverse as Fela Kuti, Harriet Tubman, and Wallace Stevens appear with meditations on desire and history. We see Hayes testing the line between story and song in a series of stunning poems inspired by the Pecha Kucha, a Japanese presenta-tion format. This innovative collection presents the light- headedness of a mind trying to pull against gravity and time. Fueled by an imagination that enlightens, delights, and ignites, Lighthead leaves us illuminated and scorched.

waste of money, not indestructible, poor quality mess
Color: Grey Elephant
not at all indestructible. i have an average chewer dog at best, the guts were all over the floor in less than a minute and the squeaky part was out in less than four. felt like an insanely misleading advertisement. "for aggressive chewers, indestructible." massive waste of money. def don't recommend. Cheap quality, I think a lap dog would have ripped it apart in no time at all as well.

Good chew tolerance and the pup loves it
Color: Yellow Lion
Our dog (20 lb Lassapoo) has had the lion toy since Christmas morning; so far so good. She loves it. Would suggest one of the alternative variants instead of the lion. The long mane hairs are easily pulled off and could be swallowed.
