Sinopsis

'Abraham Smith is one of my favorite living poets keepingáthe art form alive. He stokes the fires of imagination andáhis persistence keeps the cinders of inspiration smoldering.áIt is a joy to read his work and a thrill to hear him read itáin person.'á- Margo Price'The mists that hover over a meadow first thing in theámorning do not disappear, rather they sublime into the dayáor, as Thoreau once put it, they 'conform to the fashions ofáeternity.' In One Warm Morning, Abraham Smith likewiseáhovers gently over his words as they sublime, effortlesslyáit seems, into an eternity of free access and inviolableáintimacy. Along the way, the music they make is the mostácompanionable that I know.'- Donald Revell'Abraham Smith takes a long walk on a warm morningáand we are lucky to be invited along as he shows usáthe mind is not a fact but a motion. And a music! ofá'hummingbirds / historical jazzes / corks in rapids,' andáa holy lot more. Smith caroms from one association to theánext -a deerfly bite, a bad tattoo, 'a cold bleacher / at theálast homegame of the year' - as if there were no boundsáto consciousness, as if 'we must have whatâÇÖs next'áand 'go on go on go on go on,' as if the joyâÇÖs all in theámovement. It is! YouâÇÖll wish it wouldnâÇÖt end.'- Joel Brouwer
