Description



Book Synopsis



Poet Stephen James Smith's sympathies lie with the addicted and the convicted, often responding to what he finds on life's margins. His sharp-edged forceful language derives from his gifts as a performance poet and his fearlessness in looking into the eye of his subject matter. His poems get their charge, as well as their shape and substance, from his use of demotic rhythms, the vividness of his vernacular and his emotional directness.



Review Quotes




Passionate, witty, just plain great.--Roddy Doyle

Thrilling, startling, irreverent.--The Irish Times
