Matt Hart’s book-length, serial poem RADIANT ACTION is a wild and desperate call to connection—a daybook, an artist statement, a reading list/record review/punk rock concert, a prayer. It is a demonstration of intimate how we give it and what it gives Agnes picks up dead starfish on the beach, geraniums blossom, both purple and pink, and the music is musick – loud and in love. RADIANT ACTION is a philosophical meditation on life in our time and the timelessness of one person’s desire to be always in awe. Ultimately, it’s a reminder that the ways we live (and speak and write), warble out beyond us in mysterious, unpredictable ways with love and consequences, unfathomable terror, and empathetic longing. Seasons change. Blue jays scream. Imagination makes the world. A poem is always its own explanation.
