Overview
Before and After, his fourth volume, is his most powerful collection to date—with poems so short and direct they hit home like a knife to the heart.
In Before and After, Smith effectively captures the intimate life of one family—in all its courage, deceit, misery, madness, love, revelation, and rage—and transforms it to record the life of the American family.
