A deathly pandemic. An isolated village. A fractured American psyche.
Jeffery McDaniel's Thin Ice Olympics unfolds as a poetic dream diary, as the speaker confronts mortality and longing. Trapped in a Hudson Valley village with a wife and teenage daughter, set against the backdrop of Covid, the poems oscillate between the profane and profound. An explosive collection about loss, love, and finding moments of respite while standing on the edge of the unknown.
Come be brash, bold, and beautiful with McDaniel — your copy awaits.
No ambulances on your street in at least a week.
Cows munching grass in the valley.
You adjust your mask and pedal harder
into what feels like a good day.
