Sailing to Atlantis (ISBN 978-1-62229-222-6)
is David Olsen's third poetry chapbook.
The following is a sampling of critical opinion.
According to Merryn Williams, editor emeritus of The Interpreter's House,
"David Olsen is an impressive poet whose short pieces unfold, like origami,
to reveal multiple meanings. Dust under a bed, an unopened bottle of whisky,
a falling leaf, carry a quiet message about the fragility of life and relationships.
These poems deserve to be read and re-read."
In an editorial in Envoi #163, Jan Fortune described "Seaside Nocturne"
as "a commentary on language itself, and the failures of language , in a
beautifully controlled single metaphor that is resonant of the everyday,
yet takes us deeper with wonderful phrases like 'I invigilate the dark'".
