Poetry. DIRGE FOR AN IMAGINARY WORLD is the winner of the 2011 Able
Muse Book Award, selected by Andrew Hudgins. These are poems of
breathtaking craftsmanship that find inspiration in the simplicity
of the quotidian, or the perplexity of the grand. Smith is equally
at ease musing about Neanderthals or God as he is with a ballet
exam or highway medians. These poems of personal and universal
introspection are filled with grace, and sparkle with abundant
intelligence and wit. This masterful debut collection is an event
to celebrate."In this deeply impressive debut volume of poetry,
DIRGE FOR AN IMAGINARY WORLD, Matthew Buckley Smith delivers a
remarkable range of deft formal schemes, temporal movements, and
varied settings. We encounter sonnets, couplets, quatrains,
Sapphics, sestets and so forth written with a slick, delightful
merging of technical expertise and smooth contemporary rhythms. The
range of subjects is equally and as charmingly eclectic, from
Neanderthals, Dante, Vermeer, for instance, to College Football
Mascots, Highway Mediums, and Spring Ballet Exams. Mental and
linguistic agility generously challenge the reader in poem after
poem."--Greg Williamson, from the Foreward
