Cocktails with Orpheus
“Orpheus, that muse with the tunes so beautiful that he convinced Hades to release his serpent-bit wife from the underworld, knows a thing or two about loss. As he led his wife, Eurydice, back to the surface, he was forbidden to look back, which of course he did, casting her back to the nether zone forever with, essentially, a look that killed. “Orpheus says she did / not perish,” reports the narrator of Terrance Hayes’s poem “Cocktails With Orpheus.” Take it from Orpheus — he’s been to hell and back. They sit at a bar, in the dark, imagining worlds that could have been.
Hayes, who we dressed for the Men’s Issue, reads this poem from his National Book Award-winning collection, “Lighthead,” at the Mattress Factory gallery in Pittsburgh. Seen here in an elegantly photographed video by Pierce Jackson, Hayes sits surrounded by scorched boxes, reading to us about fire and liquid, light and ash.” New York Times MATT MCCANN MARCH 18, 2011

P.O.P is an evolving conversation between and about poets.
Each poet answers an anonymous questions by leaving a new question for another poet.
Excerpts of P.O.P are taken from an ongoing documentary
about contemporary poetry and its evolving culture through a sequence of candid conversations concerning poetry, imagination, and poetic process in the context of human experience.
