This volume supersedes the author's Selected Poems, The Purpose of the Gift
(Shearsman Books, 2004, now o.o.p.). Michael Smith is the author of seven previous collections, only two of which appeared in the UK, and a large number of translation, mainly from Spanish. Born in Dublin in 1942, he founded the seminal New Writers' Press and co-founded the magazine The Lace Curtain
with Trevor Joyce. Although best-known for his translations, his original work should be recognised for its own special qualities.
