Summary
Myronn Hardy's The Headless Saints is a book comprised of lyrical epiphanies that embrace the everyday and the mythical, and there is no way to escape the full thrust of these marvelous poems. In his second collection, The Headless Saints, Myronn Hardy, winner of the PEN/Oakland Josephine Miles Award, continues to develop and expand upon the aesthetic established in his first collection, Approaching the Center (New Issues 2001). His distinctive aesthetic is comprised of clarity and concreteness in image, attention to the harmony and dissonance of sound and wordplay, a focus on social issues, and the impressionistic hesitancy to directly interpret the content or subject of the poem. Swimming against an American poetic history that praises the long, bloated, self-righteous manifesto (think 'Song of Myself' or 'Howl'), Hardy crafts lyric, minimalistic poems that recall Dickinson in their clear-eyed, concrete natural imagism.
