Poetry by Raymond McDaniel

October 23, 2012 • 6 x 8.9 • 100 pages • 978-1-56689-315-2

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, McDaniel’s poems morph superheroes into religious and mythological narratives. Using a range traditional forms—versets, kennings, and sonnets, his poems consider the history of how we look at the future and takes on an almost Talmudic complexity.
