D. James Smith

This book is about two brothers and their deaf cousin finding missing money. The story would be great for a "who dun it" mystery, but it also talks about growing up and responsibilities.

"D. James Smith's poems derive, or rather arrive, from the physical world--breaths and glimmers
that we will recognize, but with images and language that will transport the reader elsewhere. These
poems are intensely felt and beautifully written with surprising layers of complexity that are incantatory
and in touch with the sacred." --Gary Short
