I wanted to like this more than I did. While the content itself captured me, the words and the lyricism unfortunately did not. I frequently found myself skimming when I didn't even realize I was doing so. One poem in particular did contain something I found quite poignant, though: "What can you run from / that does not inevitably find you, / that you do not inevitably return to, / that does not inevitably run / from you?"

Quite possibly the best poem title ever is "Instructions for a Seance with Vladimirs."

I know I ought to be more descriptive, but Hayes poetry will do much more than I possibly can. How tobe Drawn is monumental, varied, intimate, ecclectic, and a thousand other adjectives. Hayes captures something here in his poetry that is distinctly human, whether it be in his examination the the politics of race or musings on art and drawing, the poems are endowed with a sublime sense of being in the world.

A really interesting collection of poetry that consistently challenged my expectations. I was fascinated by Hayes’ diction, his formatting, & the way he approached poetic language. I’m looking forward to reading more from him in the future.
