Legions of Light/Armies of Darkness - Rick Smith - Bog

Disturbing, challenging, surrealist, controversial are but a few words that reel around in my mind about this book... which will shock and stretch the reader's mind in many directions... not a light-hearted pick-and-choose collection of poems... if it's something mind-stretching and challenging you are looking for, then this book achieves that on several levels.

Rick Smith explores, confronts and questions the unexplained with pained honesty... expresses with his poetry profound lessons and insights with multidimensional metaphors. His candor shows true courage.
- Joan Carra
Like passing through all the heights and depths of a great mountain range at lightspeed... it hits the reader like a machine gun blasting bullets of blood and guts observation and relentless social commentary through the writer's experience... it reads like a versified new gospel for the 21st century.
- Ruth Solomon
A scintilating wake-up call!!! This remarkable book is both complex and simple, direct and subtle, and always thought-provoking. Dip into this and take away what you choose... you WILL go away enriched by the experience... fun, terrifying, funny, sweet, and heart-touching... Rick Smith deserves a much wider audience.
