ABSTRACT In American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin (Penguin, 2018), the poet Terrance Hayes engages the Other and otherness by addressing himself to the alterity inherent in racial violence, to the location of the assassin within the mind, and to the American sonnet as a potential site either of annihilation or vitality. Several of his many sonnets are excerpted, and Hayes’s use of the volta or turn throughout is discussed.
