Terrance Hayes to Visit as 11th Westminster Poet

Award-winning poet Terrance Hayes will visit Westminster April 11 and 12 as the 11th Westminster Poet. Hayes will read in the Werner Centennial Center on Monday, April 11, 2011, at 7:30 p.m. and then interact with students and teachers in small group sessions the following day.

Throughout his career, Hayes has been committed to exploring “the intersections of poetry and the public sphere,” a commitment which has brought him to places as varied as high schools and prisons to read poems and conduct workshops.

Hayes is currently a professor of creative writing at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and is the author of four award-winning books of poems. His most recent book, “Lighthead,” (Penguin, 2010) won the prestigious National Book Award for Poetry in 2010.
