Poetry. "Rod Smith is submodernism's first genius. He has been broadcasting from DC longer than Wolf Blitzer, meaning he has never left the central fact that poetry is politics. I love his 'dissociadelic' mid-Atlantic soul, which never makes us choose between truth and beauty. In his wild and amazing poems, honesty is music, listen."—Peter Gizzi
"As always, Rod Smith rules the realm of the tender melancholy lyric. His honesty is sad, clarifying, and radiant. His music is transcendent—it stalks through history and haunts the heart."—Lisa Jarnot
