Winner of the 2010 National Book Award for Poetry 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 presentation 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.

Recenze
Autor ve své čtvrté sbírce zkoumá jak si vytváříme zkušenosti.
S jednou částí zakotvenou v realitě a s druhou částí zakotvenou ve snu vznášející se básně pletou realitu a sen v jeden celek.
Testuje hranici mezi poezii a písní. Inspiruje se japonským inspiračním tématem.
Kniha se snaží táhnout proti gravitaci času. Podněcuje v nás představivost, která osvěcuje, potěší a podnítí.
