    Winging Free: A Volume of Experimental Poetry

    By Drew Slater

    About this ebook

    Winging Free is a radical departure from today’s mainstream poetry. Rebelling against the current fashion of rhymeless poems, Drew Slater experiments with intricate rhyme schemes and complex rhythms. He calls his meticulously crafted compositions literary architecture.

    This unusual work offers a wide variety of topics and moods. There are some intensely personal poems, some melancholy, some humorous, some insightful, and some spiritual. There are also some lovely romantic poems, but the real romance is between Drew Slater and the English language.

      Your new album, Nation Of Two, is full of heartfelt tunes. Is there a reason you gravitate toward love songs? I think they’re the songs that resonate with me. It’s a universal thing – of the songs on the radio, I feel like such a high percentage wou
