He is very much interested in what it means to be an artist and a black man. In his first collection, \u003cb\u003eMuscular Music\u003c\/b\u003e, he took the reader through a living library of cultural icons, from Shaft and Fat Albert to John Coltrane and Miles Davis. His second collection, Hip Logic, continued these explorations of popular culture, fatherhood, cultural heritage, and loss. \u003cb\u003eWind in a Box\u003c\/b\u003e, Hayes's resonant new collection, continues his interest in how traditions (of poetry and culture alike) can be simultaneously upended and embraced. The struggle for freedom (the wind) within containment (the box) is the unifying motif as Hayes explores how identity is shaped by race, heritage, and spirituality. This new book displays not only what the \u003cb\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/b\u003e calls the range of a \"bold virtuoso,\" but also the imaginative fervor of a poet in love with poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143036869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 5.56w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/03\/2006 pg. 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2006 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Terrance Hayes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45038246396085,"sku":"9780143036869","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7de64696-3441-448f-bd6b-d3c4b928542b.jpg?v=1737475269","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wind-in-a-box-9780143036869","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
