Before and After: Poems
Before and After, his fourth volume, is his most powerful collection to date--with poems so short and direct they hit home like a knife to the heart.
In Before and After, Smith effectively captures the intimate life of one family--in all its courage, deceit, misery, madness, love, revelation, and rage--and transforms it to record the life of the American family.
