<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A dazzling volume that gushes with the rhythms of life and language, from award-winning poet Charlie Smith.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Moving through shades of darkness and light, Charlie Smith captures a refracted view of a disturbed, disintegrating world. <em>Demo</em> explores landscapes both natural and urban, probing the places where the two overlap. Its narrator is at once wanderer and witness, living among streets where flowers are covered with dust and smells of Mexican food and Chinese cooking fill the air. The poet finds a resurgence of life in the ruins, reminding us once again "that we don't really know what beauty is until we've looked hard at the horror that throws beauty into bright relief" (David Kirby, <em>New York Times</em>).</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A mastery such as Smith's is rare...The bounties furnished are great: pearls of understanding that circle some kind of holy instruction.--Kathleen Alcott "Los Angeles Review of Books"<br><br>Charlie Smith has always had an exquisite ear for the line, for the arresting phrase that sticks in the head and won't go away. 'I woke up still trying to understand things, ' he says in one poem, but that line could be the beginning of every poem in <em>Demo</em>. Here is a smart, gifted poet waking up again and again, startled by a world he didn't make, but which he remakes brilliantly and word by word.--Jay Parini, author of New and Collected Poems: 1975-2015<br>
