Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Editorial Review: The Fraud of EternitySource: Booksterr (5/5 Stars) - January 11, 2026Darryl Houston Smith's collection The Fraud of Eternity demonstrates a haunting structural purpose from its very first pages. Dedicated "to winter," the work utilizes rigid poetic forms to create a deliberate conflict of emotion against "the bars of a rigid meter." The result is a dramatic and stark view of suffering and humanity-one clearly influenced by the dark romanticism of Charles Baudelaire and the mythic weight of Jim Morrison.Smith's writing is both philosophical and visceral. In "The Monolith," he posits that "birth is merely the beginning of sin," describing the earth as "a slaughterhouse for prayer where souls are dragged through centuries of slime." This somber view of existence permeates the collection, particularly in pieces like "Merrimack in Iron" and "Granite Teeth."These poems establish a profound connection between abstract despair and the tangible reality of Lowell, Massachusetts. The "granite, river, and ice" of the Merrimack Valley exist here as both metaphor and physical entities that "command a specific type of silence." Walking through "Edson Cemetery (Sunday)" or witnessing the "drained out vein" of "Canal Water Blues," the reader encounters a world of old mills feeding ghosts-a world almost conspiratorial in its decay.The Fraud of Eternity masterfully examines the dualities of beauty and ruin. In "The Warmth of Hell," Smith rejects the "empty blue" of the sky, opting instead for "furnaces and loam" where "hell blooms beneath the frost, a rooted home." The title poem, "The Dyad," explores the necessary tension between two entities that "brace the weight of Fraud we cannot move," finding strength in parallel existence rather than merging.For those who appreciate the darker aspects of Symbolism and the harsh truths of the world, this is an unapologetic body of work. Smith rejects soft comfort in favor of a rigid, suffocating beauty. It is a mirror for the marrow, written for those who know that the only way out of the slaughterhouse is through it.
