Intimate moments saved and savored abound in these affecting, observant poems by the late Rad Smith. It is not his untimely death, however, that brings this volume to light, but his undeniable talent. An inquisitive soul with an engaging mind, his poems persuade us to pay more attention every day and reap the rewards. Rad Smith, born in 1947, grew up in Minnesota and attended Harvard University, where he studied with Elizabeth Bishop. He worked in high-tech for 15 years, then abandoned that to become a stay-at-home dad and write poetry. In 1998, he learned he was in the final stages of lung cancer, although he never smoked. Working feverishly, he finished this manuscript before he died in December of that year.Smith, Rad is the author of 'Distant Early Warning ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781932195293 and ISBN 1932195297.
