Synopsis
Poetry. "Smyth's formal poems, many of them sonnets, are exquisitely crafted and satisfyingly sensuous. The more discursive, autobiographical poems are heartbreaking. And "Coda," the final section, deserves close study; it is both moving and gratifying"-Maxine Kumin. Paul Smyth is the author of Conversions, and his poetry has appeared in Atlantic Monthly and Poetry, which awarded him the Dillon Memorial Prize. Just after completing last corrections on the manuscript for A PLAUSIBLE LIGHT, Paul Smyth died in late 2006.
