Winner of the 2004 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry PrizeBlue on Blue Ground is about the body, desire, anxiety, and obsessionhow what we want redeems and isolates us (and is sometimes used against us). These poems are artful yet accessible, lyrical yet direct, strange but recognizable.Smiths relentless selfexamination, fear, sense of humor, and vulnerability are all laid to bare in crisp, precise language. From lonely observations, bizarre medical fascinations, emotion, loss, and honesty, Blue on Blue Ground constructs its internal and external worlds.The metaphorical city is also a body, a place of exile and restoration, a symbol of hope, a catalyst for connection. The urban landscape is often the background for the moment or is the moment itselfthe world looked at and sorted into words.Though at times dark, theres love to be found. Perhaps its what drives this collection, colors its observations, and leads it to finally announce: Someone is putting the world back together. Blue on Blue Ground wants to look at absolutely everything and believes that complete exploration of the physical and mental selvesfears and desiresis the key to moving and being completely alive in the material world.
