[Andrew Garrison · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book features many fine works by Drew Mazur. His lyrics are lovely and descriptive with potential to inspire. They were in fact my favorite aspect of this book.
Drew showcases his range with his poetry. Much of it flows very well and conveys thought-provoking concepts. Throughout the work I felt he was channeling the likes of Mary Oliver and Leonard Cohen. As you travel deeper into the book, Drew's voice and style comes into its own. With the exception of a couple of poems, I found Drewisms: Poems, Lyrics, and Reveries to be well worth the read and a lovely addition to my growing collection of indie-writers. I hope to see much more from this rising artistic talent.

A fantastic debut! Drew Mazur's work is poetry to behold. Each piece reminds me why I write. To be this good, I'm assuming Mr. Mazur sold his soul to some poetry-loving Devil.

"...a poet needs his words," he writes, and his words are beauty unfolded.
