From the lush Southern landscapes of \u003ci\u003eRed Roads\u003c\/i\u003e (1987) and the haunted longing of \u003ci\u003eHeroin\u003c\/i\u003e (2000) to the bold eroticism of \u003ci\u003eWomen of America\u003c\/i\u003e (2004) and, most recently, the fresh and exuberant \u003ci\u003eWord Comix\u003c\/i\u003e (2009), Smith reminds us “that we don’t really know what beauty is until we’ve looked hard at the horror that throws beauty into bright relief” (David Kirby, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e). Beauty in Smith’s poetry is mixed with harrowing darkness; it is “the rescued returned to the floods \/ and fruit pickers, those who catch beauty \/ aflight on the sweet-smelling breeze, authentic characters \/ messed up, dead on the floor \/ of western motels, crapped out jinxed, lost \/ to the boulevards.” Smith is a poet of “shimmering energy” (Mary Oliver). His work, brutal in its honesty and stunning in its lyricism, is represented in all of its extraordinary range in this new collection.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom “Collected First Lines”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI’m sure there is meaning,\u003cbr\u003e\nand I know it’s sometimes more interesting\u003cbr\u003e\nto stand in a road than to move along it,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ethough even this, said with such confidence\u003cbr\u003e\njust a minute ago,\u003cbr\u003e\nexplains nothing.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharlie Smith\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of nine previous poetry collections, eight novels, and a book of novellas.
