Fathers who go missing and fathers who are distant will become the bones of the stories.\u003cbr\u003eThere will be a fable about a giant who grew too tall to be kissed by his father. My father must have kissed me when I was boy. I can't really say. . . . By the time I was eleven or even ten years old I was as tall as him. I was six inches taller than him by the time I was fifteen. My biography about Knight would be about intimacy, heartache.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerrance Hayes \u003c\/strong\u003eis the author of \u003cem\u003eHow to Be Drawn\u003c\/em\u003e, which received a 2016 NAACP Image Award for Poetry; \u003cem\u003eLighthead\u003c\/em\u003e, which won the 2010 National Book Award for poetry; and three other award-winning poetry collections.
