Special Powers and Abilities

by Raymond McDaniel

Book Overview

"McDaniel's language trains every particle of your attention on the surface and what stirs beneath."--C.D. Wright

Inspired by the comic series The Legion of Super-Heroes, Raymond McDaniel's poems morph superheroes into religious and mythological narratives. Using a range of traditional forms--versets, kennings, and sonnets--his poems consider the history of how we look at the future and take on an almost Talmudic complexity.
