While many of these poems bear the clearest imprint yet of Hayes’s background as a visual artist, they do not strive to describe art so much as inhabit it. Thus, one poem contemplates the principle of blind contour drawing while others are inspired by maps, graphs, and assorted artists. The formal and emotional versatilities that distinguish Hayes’s award-winning poetry are unified by existential focus. Simultaneously complex and transparent, urgent and composed,\u003ci\u003e How to Be Drawn\u003c\/i\u003e is a mesmerizing achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008652984560,"sku":"9780143126881","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780143126881_p0.jpg?v=1763656908","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780143126881","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
