More Distant Than Olympus

More Distant Than Olympus is a new collection from George Drew. As John Amen notes, "George Drew moves effortlessly between portraits of vintage America, a recasting of mythology, and narratives that integrate tragedy and humor. His poems about cars, rivers, his mother’s biscuits, and eccentric family members transcend the everyday, pointing to ageless rites of passage and archetypal truths. Additionally, his musicality grows more refined with each book. Drew’s lines soar like choruses, his images resonating like a string quartet playing under a summer sky. With More Distant Than Olympus, George Drew is at his best, evoking longing and gratitude, dispensing hard-won and invaluable wisdom."
