Auguries of Innocence: Poems.
New York: Ecco Press, 2005. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Near Fine copy with a small remainder dot to bottom edge in a Fine dust jacket. Auguries of Innocence marks a major accomplishment from a poet and performer who has inscribed her vision of our world in powerful anthems, ballads, and lyrics. In this intimate and searing collection of poems, Smith joins in that great tradition of troubadours, journeymen, wordsmiths, and artists who respond to the world around them in fresh and original language. Her influences are eclectic and striking: Blake, Rimbaud, Picasso, Arbus, and Johnny Appleseed. Smith is an American original; her poems are oracles for our times. Item #28011
