Review:
In A RIVER REMAINS Smith sets out to do what Rilke calls, [perhaps the most difficult of all talks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation'—the work of love. These poems look straight at the things we are most afraid of, and keeps with tenderness. . . .This book is a lesson in saying yes to life."
—Diane Gilliam Fisher, author of Kettle Bottom
"It is in the small quiet moments that Life gives up its meaning, and no one captures the gentle undercurrent of the bliss of life better than Larry Smith. . . .His poems are personal and modest, yet they radiate a universal voice. We can say when we have read his poems that there is a man who lives a deep and watchful life, a man who cares much." —Joel Rudinger, author of Lovers and Celebrations
Synopsis:
In these poems, the world is at once evanescent and permanent, always changing and yet always there. A collection of large scope built mostly from brief lyrics, narratives, and meditations, it stands as a compelling work from a distinguished author.
