The Glory Thomas R Smith

Poetry. Thomas R. Smith's new collection, THE GLORY, serves many glories--those of the natural world, of the American democratic dream, and of various individuals who do us all credit. His steady and reverent attentiveness to the world in which he finds himself is the armature of this book. Like the 'music-house' for shelter one poem speaks of, Smith offers us for shelter his poetry-house, solidly built, roomy, and full of treasures.--Philip Dacey
