Richard Church has singled him out for special praise and the late L. A. G. Strong, in a comprehensive article on his work, wrote: "With Charles Causley's, whom John Smith in certain ways resembles, this poetry has made a deeper impression on me than any in the past ten years." In 1953 he was awarded the first <em>Adam International Review</em> prize, and his last collection of poems <em>Excursus</em> in Autumn was a Poetry Book Society Choice.</p> <p>We confidently expect this new volume to advance his reputation still further. Here are love lyrics of a fresh simplicity rare in present-day verse; poems of a delicious irony; and two substantial "anti-philosophical" poems of great strength.</p> <p>John Smith is not a "poet's poet"; his work should appeal to all readers who have an ear for the beauty of English poetry.</p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
