Annotation
Andrew Glazes poetry has been described as funny, quixotic, and very wise, while writer Norman Rosten once called him a serious, irreverent poet, capable of setting off fireworks in the museum. Overheard in a Drugstore continues in that maverick tradition, offering poems that are humorous, affectionate, moving, evocative, and controversialsometimes simultaneously.From poems such as Blue Ridge and Sunset Rock, in which he artfully overlaps a current landscape with ghosts of the past, to Fishermen, in which he compares writers to anglers aiming to hook the perfect prose, his unique voice paints vivid imagery for the reader.Glaze has been highly praised in the New York Times, nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, and honored with awards from Poetry Magazine and the Southeastern Booksellers Association. His first full-length collection, Damned Ugly Children (1966) was named a Notable Book by the American Library Association. He is in the Alabama Writers Hall of Fame and is serving as the Eleventh Poet Laureate of Alabama.
