About This Book

Smith is one of the youngest, brightest poets to join the ranks of British poetry's new wave. His stylistic confidence is evident in this, his debut collection. The 50 poems are set in many countries Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, Yugoslavia, Japan, Thailand, and India. He writes about deracines exiles, hitchhikers, prisoners, addicts and the reality he depicts is of unstable boundaries, tribal conflicts, and displaced populations. His undeluded poems mercilessly expose the ideological certitudes society uses to cover its internal contradictions.
