Reality in Terrance Hayes´New York Poem and George Saunders The Simplica-Girl Diaries

Comparative analysis A lot of things are expected in the growth process. You want your family to support you forever, you want many friends, you want to get married, you go to college, or you may be looking for high income work you like . However, these things are not necessarily guaranteed. The media is full of high expectations for a perfect and attractive lifestyle that is never realistic for most of us. The Terrance Hayes verse "New York Poetry" and George Saunders' short story "The Simplica-Girl Diaries" are two contemporary literary works depicting reality, not necessarily meeting expectations.

On the second day after the 2016 presidential election, Terrence Hayes wrote the first of his 74 sonnets collected in his new book "Fourth Action of My Past and Future Assassin" It was. Time was changed in a malicious and uncertain way; Sonnet provides another unit of measure, once old, its basic function has not changed for centuries. Pass it in a cruel way. These critical situations are suitable for haze. As former college basketball star, he sees poetry as a timed game, as a dramatic last minute result. When blacks are often in danger, he called freelancer "part of a music box, part of meat grinder" in the form of a living diary.

It is too early to make a real record of the art that appears in our current fear, but a new book by Terrance Hayes, "American Sonnet of My Past and Future Assassin" is the first authentic work I assert. The President of Donald Trump is one of the most surprising figures. These 70 poems were written after the general election in 2016, during the white nationalist meeting in Charlottesville, Virginia and the surge in national hate crimes. "Something is happening everywhere in this country," Hayes wrote. "Every day. Someone is praying, some are prey."
