Charlie Smith
Heroin
And Other Poems
A new collection of poetry from Charlie Smith, whose work Lorrie Moore has called "appallingly brilliant."
In these haunting poems by one of this country's most gifted poets, heroin becomes a metaphor for desire as the speaker recalls his past addiction and lost loves.
"That Smith can also write in a neo-Ashberian urban sophisticate mode...gives this winning fifth collection further range and sophistication."—Publishers Weekly
"Smith writes with a scalding aortal brilliance that leaves the reader drunk on dream, unable to resist."—New York Times Book Review
Charlie Smith is the author of four previous books of poetry. He lives in New York City.
