"George finds not only the sound but the images to transform words into the full musical/emotional cascade of the blues that emanate from an any artist’s soul. This is poetry and music speaking together at its best, and it uncovers a human dignity that we all share. It is a mélange of hope and spirit set against the inevitability of time. And in that last section we find the title poem, “Drumming Armageddon,” in which a “doper” entering middle age becomes a “ferocious drummer … twirling his sticks high over his head … drumming Armageddon into exile." — Poet Jared Smith, Author of That's How It Is
