About this title

Synopsis

"Abraham Smith is one of my favorite living poets keeping

the art form alive. He stokes the fires of imagination and

his persistence keeps the cinders of inspiration smoldering.

It is a joy to read his work and a thrill to hear him read it

in person."

- Margo Price

"The mists that hover over a meadow first thing in the

morning do not disappear; rather they sublime into the day

or, as Thoreau once put it, they "conform to the fashions of

eternity." In One Warm Morning, Abraham Smith likewise

hovers gently over his words as they sublime, effortlessly

it seems, into an eternity of free access and inviolable

intimacy. Along the way, the music they make is the most

companionable that I know."

- Donald Revell

"Abraham Smith takes a long walk on a warm morning

and we are lucky to be invited along as he shows us

the mind is not a fact but a motion. And a music! of

"hummingbirds / historical jazzes / corks in rapids," and

a holy lot more. Smith caroms from one association to the

next -a deerfly bite, a bad tattoo, "a cold bleacher / at the

last homegame of the year" - as if there were no bounds

to consciousness, as if "we must have what's next"

and "go on go on go on go on," as if the joy's all in the

movement. It is! You'll wish it wouldn't end."

- Joel Brouwer
