A futuristic, stunningly imaginative poetic exploration of superheroes, religion, and myth.
Inspired by The Legion of Super-Heroes, a comic series about a group of teenage superheroes in the future, McDaniels poems morph superheroes into religious and mythological narratives. Using a range traditional formsversets, kennings, and sonnets, his poems consider the history of how we look at the future and takes on an almost Talmudic complexity.
