Among the Furies is for readers who enjoy artfully crafted rambles. It is the fourth collection from the Georgia-based poet Rupert Fike, a distinctive Southern voice with a witty, countercultural sensibility. Most of the poems in Among the Furies are set in the rural South, from the dead-sofa push-off pit at the county landfill to the Paranormal Romance aisle at the local bookstore. Fike draws on a wide range of literature and popular culture (from John Milton to murder ballads, from Jane Austen to Kenny Rogers), yet his conversational poems remain grounded in relatable experiences of growing up and growing old. In these 48 original poems, Americana meets Eastern philosophy, Greco-Roman mythology is woven through modern day concerns, and poetry can happen while waiting to use the mini-mart men's room.
