In his exciting new book of poems and retrospective reflection, West Coast poet and devout philhellene Joe Safdie engages compellingly with various Hellenic myths, and by doing so offers the reader a fresh and creative way of approaching Greek antiquity. Though most characters in the poems evidently are Hellenic, the style of the book is conversational and its idiom quintessentially American, recalling the poets of the New York School and the countercultural movement. I find this fascinating. Safdie naturally masters the uniquely poetic art of interweaving disparate realities. Greek to Me blends and blurs historical timelines, geographies and cultures into an innovative brew joining together fragments of the two outer edges of Western civilization: the US of today and Greece of old.
