Publisher's Synopsis
East meets West in John Drew's mystical poems, which somehow manage to be both strongly English and strangely Indian. 'Drew is a visionary,' writes Ken Robinson in his foreword to Drew's first book of poems. 'Poetry for him has its being at the point of intersection of the timeless with time.' John Drew is both a metaphysical poet in the tradition of Blake, Coleridge, and Eliot, and a sceptical modern man wittily playing off the mystic against the mundane.
