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.

Best medical math book ever! It gives how to do each problem multiple ways and makes it easier to learn. This book is amazing! This book makes math easy even for me, and I do not like math at all and that should sum up how great this book is

Weird wording questions
Format: Paperback
Very weird wording with the math problems. It doesn’t really correlate with test questions or board exams.

A "Must-Read" for the new and mature in Christ!
Format: Kindle
This book is amazing! It makes foundations of our faith that can be difficult to put together on our own very easy to identify and see how they relate to and build on each other. Love the many Bible verse illustrations and references throughout, and for each foundation in the back of the book. Mike and Carrie's love for God and enthusiasm for his Word, what He has given to us, and their desire to share it all is contagious! And so is their love for people - saved and unsaved. Looking forward to using this book for meditation, growth and reference. Sooo much in this book, its one you can read again and again and get something new and transforming from it each time! Can't wait for your next one! Love you guys! ❤
