About the Book

Arranged mostly chronologically, Thin Ice Olympics is a poetic dream diary, charting one man's experience isolating with a wife and teenage daughter in New York state during the Covid pandemic. Swerving between dazed loneliness, grief, and dark comedy, the poetic speaker yearns for connection with loved ones, both living and dead. At times profane and brash, at other times tender and sincere, the poems are demotic, and yet energized by explosive metaphor, achieving moments of bruised pathos and fleeting enlightenment.

Review :
"Jeffrey McDaniel's poetry cures my loneliness. So much so that I dreaded reaching the end of Thin Ice Olympics. He's always been a master of metaphor. With this volume he is also a master of mining the marrow of buried bones; buried because they were once too dangerous. Unearthed, McDaniel reframes them both with tenderness and what I refer to as "diagonal" humor. No artifice, no fancy shit, just truth; and this truth is the friend I'm always searching for." -Joan As Police Woman
