Legions of Light/Armies of Darkness

Disturbing challenging surrealist controversial are but a few words that reel around in my mind about this book... which will shock and stretch the readers mind in many directions... not a light-hearted pick-and-choose collection of poems... if its something mind-stretching and challenging you are looking for then this book achieves that on several levels. - David Taub Rick Smith explores confronts and questions the unexplained with pained honesty... expresses with his poetry profound lessons and insights with multidimensional metaphors. His candor shows true courage. - Joan Carra Like passing through all the heights and depths of a great mountain range at lightspeed... it hits the reader like a machine gun blasting bullets of blood and guts observation and relentless social commentary through the writers experience... it reads like a versified new gospel for the 21st century. - Ruth Solomon A scintilating wake-up call!!! This remarkable book is both complex and simple direct and subtle and always thought-provoking. Dip into this and take away what you choose... you WILL go away enriched by the experience... fun terrifying funny sweet and heart-touching... Rick Smith deserves a much wider audience. - David J.
