Muse of Iron

This collection of poetry is written on the theme of the multi-disciplinary artist - one who works in metal, stone, clay, paint/canvas, and voice. Smith (whose usual form is the Elizabethan Sonnet) still uses the practice of counting meter as well as rhyme, but pulls down the fences and lets the message have voice over the medium. Experimental. Challenging. Tenterhooks for Dreaming. These 15+ works reflect, like the forge fire of an armorer, a thousand surfaces to help describe one, vital image - that of the heart in crucible.
