"The Other Lover" is a collection of bittersweet American love
poems. Writing with jazz-like verbal panache, Bruce Smith reaches
for the paradoxical pulls between sweetness and bitterness. With
carefully crafted rhyming stanzas and unpredictable free verse
rhythms, these poems bristle and pop like the riffs of a virtuoso
horn player. The book is a personal, passionate, disturbing
collection that places the reader both inside and outside of the
poet's life. Deftly filtering personal experiences through
improvisatory structures and a wide range of idioms, Smith
communicates the want, the lack, the desire for what is missing,
the sweetness of absence and pain. The pleasure of "The Other
Lover" is in the imagination's dance in the erotic spaces between
the poet and the reader.
