Product Description

Review
Smith is master of the deceptively casual poem. -- Simon Coppock Poetry Review Simon Smith's Mercury pushes the limits of language and line to just short of the fragmentation of words and meanings. -- David C Ward PN Review 175

Product Description
This remarkable new volume sports the brevity and cheek of Martial's epigrams, providing the excuses and occasions - "Mercury" is a book of pith, turning on an urban-knowing wit, a rag-bag of flip, it embraces the complexities of ordinary language and expression. Veracity sounded through fleeting moments; these are poems that say difficult things simply.
