Terrance Hayes’s new poetry collection, So to Speak, explores how we see ourselves and our world, mapping the strange and lyrical grammar of thinking and feeling. Published on the same day, Watch Your Language uses drawings and essays to reimagine reading as an imaginative and critical act of observing language. Hayes shares these collections and is joined by fellow poets Ama Codjoe and Nicole Sealey for a night of readings and discussion.
