Notes for a Rescue Narrative

"In this collection of poems, J. Mark Smith charts the oxbow turnings of diverse human voices through scepticism and belief, hope and despair, pride and humility. Inspired by the elegiac plainness of Wordsworth as much as by the many-mindedness of Pound, Smith's poems probe into regions of experience where meaning falls away, and "the names hardly stick."."--BOOK JACKET.

J. Mark Smith teaches in the English department at Grant McEwan College in Edmonton.
