Description
Fear Not by Stephen James Smith is a powerful collection of poems that explore the lives of those often overlooked. With his sharp-edged language and fearless approach, Smith delves into the world of addiction and conviction, giving voice to those who find themselves on life's margins. Smith's poetry is shaped by his gifts as a performance poet, with demotic rhythms and vivid vernacular bringing a sense of immediacy and emotional directness. The result is a collection that charges forward with force and substance, its poems taking shape from the raw material of Smith's observations and experiences. This book offers a unique perspective on the human experience, one that is both unflinching and deeply humane.
