Frank and unpretentious, flinty, even brash, these poems sling us straight into the American southwest world of a boy-to-man quest through cities, coasts, and deserts. Smith's self-revelatory, ravenous, duende-filled personas, saddled by the origin story of an alcoholic home, break loose in escapades riddled with coyotes, deaths, horses, lovers, and ravens, accrued as a thoughtful, sometimes humorous exploration of life both sacred and profane. Bracingly candid and inventive, gracefully elegiac, tough, passionate, Smith traverses the landscape of the spirit, from the wailing of a dead junkie to a greening mountain of soft regret to the moon-bright drunken dancing of his working-class genesis. This dazzling collection will take the reader on a bareback ride into a raucous world of poetry, to be consumed by haunting delights, truths unglimpsed, sorrows known, and, ultimately, a reconciliation of hope and despair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56148981547313,"sku":"9781962405232","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9532\/7537\/files\/xq_ahwLP9781962405232.webp?v=1788685351","url":"https:\/\/mitchellofficial.com\/products\/shaking-music-from-the-angry-air-paperback","provider":"MITCHELL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
