With precise and lyrical language Smyth confronts deeply human themes of loss grief aging and the complexities of parenthood against the untamed backdrop of nature. She artfully balances what is often unseen or ignored-homelessness dementia the forgotten and forsaken-against the luminous details that make existence vibrant and immediate. </p></span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)><p>These poems remind us of the small sentient details of existence and the presence of both nature and a higher power.
