Charlie Smith''s 'shimmering energy' (Mary Oliver) pushes against the barriers of imagination and the American language. Taking as his starting point such wide-ranging subjects as comic books, politics, romantic love, geology, newspapers, totalitarianism, the natural world, the classics, Paris, Miami Beach, and war, Charlie Smith has written freshly realized poems in which compassion and tough mindedness touch the deep core of our humanness.
