Eloquent and Hard-hitting,
By
This review is from: Close to Death: Poems (Paperback)
This book of poetry by one of the best Slam poets has a way of shaking the complacency of so much that passes for poetry, from stale imitators of the Beats to the constipated stasis of High-Modernists. Smith's eminence in the Academy of American Poets is well earned; her verse delivers, and will never disappoint.

first saw her read at the gathering of poets festival at louisiana state university at baton rouge many years ago..she recited her stuff from memory without a mike and just came at the audience hard...some of her poems read like stories..her voice can be soft as rose petals or echo the throb of african drums...also get her book life according to motown
