HARSH: Ungentle, severe, austere.

POIGNANT: Affecting or moving the emotions.

TALENT: A special natural ability.

Everyone should know what it means, it''s perfectly clear. The boy has a natural ability for telling stories, in an ungentle austere manner, that affect the emotions of the audience. For me, life itself is a harsh poignant matter, so I'm attracted to such a portrayal of it.
