This book by Morrison Heady is a collection of poems that both explore and experiment with the hexameter, a form of poetry typically associated with the classics. This is a rare undertaking by an English poet, especially as Heady lacked formal knowledge of the classic models for the verse. Instead, he sought to create his own version based on accent and syllable count, pushing the boundaries of the language. The authorâs poems are stylistically unique in their abandonment of traditional quantitative measures of the hexameter. Nevertheless, the poemsâ themes are as timeless as the form itself. Heady explores the mysteries of silence, the beauty and cruelty of nature, and the complexities of the human condition. He does so with a frankness that belies the sometimes archaic nature of the verse, boldly addressing topics of blindness and deafness in a way that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Heady's work offers a glimpse into the creative spirit of an individual who, despite great physical challenges, was able to produce art of exceptional depth and beauty.
