<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><em>River Hymns</em> is the lyrical journey of a young black man's spiritual reckoning with his family history.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Tyree Daye is a poet of extraordinary ability and surprise. I find new music to delight in every time I come back to this book. I encounter new ways to think about family and community, new ways to wrestle with my own landscape and legacy.--Gabrielle Calvocoressi</p><p>Winner of the 2017 American Poetry Review/Honickman First Book Prize, <em>River Hymns</em> invites the reader into the complex lineage of the values, contradictions, and secrets of a southern family. These poems reflect on the rich legacy of a young black man's ancestry: what to use, what to leave behind, and what haunts. And Tyree Daye can write the blues one moment and conjure great humor the next, as when he says, I knew God was a man because he put a baby in Mary without her permission.</p><p><strong>From Southern Silence: </strong></p><p><em>I've only trusted<br>four white people in my life<br>my mother showed me<br>the ropes early I'm afraid<br>to untie myself get down<br>from this branch<br>even the Jesus on the wall of the church old and swaying<br>has something<br>up his sun-touched sleeves</em></p><p><strong>Tyree Daye</strong> is a Cave Canem fellow. His poems have been published in <em>Prairie Schooner, Nashville Review, Four Way Review</em>, and <em>Ploughshares</em>. He was awarded the Amy Clampitt Residency for 2018 and The Glenna Luschei Prairie Schooner Award. He lives in North Carolina.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Tyree Daye: Tyree Daye is a Cave Canem fellow.
