With his renowned poetic skill, Smith quietly and carefully shifts from the panoramic into the still frame of the inner life with its familiar daily worries. . . . \u003cem\u003eDay In, Day Out\u003c\/em\u003e is washed in the meals of new potatoes, sautèd cabbage leaves, the wine of Château Moulin de Honternieux Médoc (2012), Dogfish Head IPA, pizza, salad with sparkling wine. It's a delicious journey. --Elaine Randell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's a history of English language poets transplanted to places ostensibly sharing the same tongue (Ronald Johnson, Jonathan Williams, Kenneth Rexroth in the UK; Charles Tomlinson, Thom Gunn in the USA). For these writers, the ordinary becomes the exotic. Their responses might be like those of a Martial transported from Spain to the Roman capital, with an outsider's ability to detect the fine (or gross) echoes of Empire amid the detritus. Simon Smith joins these ranks - He is a Paul Blackburn for the information age. --Laurie Duggan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimon Smith's work continues to be an essential reminder of the possibilities of poetry in the present moment. \u003cem\u003eDay In, Day Out \u003c\/em\u003eserves up quickly paced journal poems bursting with the details of the everyday life of travel, transience, and self-imposed displacement. Ghosted by his recently deceased father and Paul Blackburn's own journal poetry, Smith generously tells \"everything I know\" about time, impermanence, and the ordinary scintilla of the moment grasped as at once fleeting and overwhelmingly real. The devil--and the divine--is in the details. --Stephen Collis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSIMON SMITH has published five collections of poetry. His third collection, \u003cem\u003eMercury \u003c\/em\u003e(Salt Publications), was long-listed for the Costa Prize in 2007. A selected poems, \u003cem\u003eMore Flowers Than You Could Possibly Carry\u003c\/em\u003e, appeared from Shearsman Books in 2016, and his latest pamphlet is \u003cem\u003eSalon Noir\u003c\/em\u003e (Equipage, 2016).
