Almanac - (Princeton Contemporary Poets) by Austin Smith (Paperback)

The Almanac is a collection of poems that celebrate and mourn the passing of the world of small family farms in rural Midwest, but it's so much more than that.

This book reflects on childhood, death, tradition, natural world destruction, and connections between people and land.

It's a meditation on the responsibility of young poets to speak for what is vanishing, with poems that are clear as glass of wine on the author's father's table every Christmas Eve.

This collection is exhilarating and disquieting, and it will leave you in awe of the poet's skill and craftsmanship.

Don't miss out on this remarkable debut from a new voice in poetry.
