		Smith, who began his career (much like Johnson) as a poet, raged against a Jamaican political machine (be it left or right wing) that seemed to fail the majority of its people.
		Smith's poetry reached the ears of Linton Kwesi Johnson and, with help from Dennis Bovell, he brought Smith to England to record an album of dub poetry backed by a fine band that included members of Bovell's Dub Band and the excellent Afro-Brit reggae group Aswad.
		It was alleged that Smith had attacked them, but given the nation's volatile political history, no one was buying that explanation, and the politically motivated murder of Michael Smith robbed reggae of one of its most eloquent voices of protest.

		Admirer's of Michael Smith's album Mi C-Yaan Believe It will find the poems in this session familiar, but very different from their recorded versions. Smith recites his work with only sparse percussive backing by Tony Uter, and in my opinion this makes the words even more meaningful and heartfelt............See what you think.

		Michael Smith was himself in his 29 years – born 1954 dying in 1983 by gunshot as in the Orange fire, the fire of rat-tat-tat, as we ourselves treat each other like chattel, like tools, like objects, like part of the inventories of mules, jack-ass and goat.

	Samuel Greenberg: American Poet
		He did not live long enough to exploit, or even to explore, the borderlands of the subconscious, but he seemed to dwell in a state between incoherence and eloquence, between sheer hallucination and pure vision.
		Although he published nothing in his lifetime, and has since been the victim of near-total critical neglect, Samuel Bernard Greenberg was the most original and most ravishing poet in the English language in the first decades of this century.
		The banner quote at the top of the page ("the poet seeks an earth in himself") is from Greenberg's poem "Fred".

	Movie Reviews by Michael Smith: June 2006
		This film is a documentary about an historic tribute to Leonard Cohen, one of modern cultureâ€™s greatest poets and humanists.
		Nonetheless, Leonard Cohen is among the rarest of poets, a self-effacing and humble guy who just happens to be able to speak simply and clearlyâ€”contrary to folk singersâ€”yet profoundly about life.
		But seeing his wide appeal makes him a bigger man. The impression Cohen made on the musicians and poets who put this tribute together is as eloquent as Leonard Cohen himself.

		There's a gravitas to the mystery/thrillers of Michael Connelly, a bedrock commitment to the value of human life and the need for law enforcement pros to defend that value, that sets his work apart and above that of many of his contemporaries.
		Bosch's digging brings him into contact with Rachel Walling, the FBI agent heroine of The Poet, and the third-person narrative concerns mostly her.
		Though generally presumed dead, the Poet—the serial killer who was a highly placed Fed and Walling's mentor—is alive and killing anew, with, we soon learn, McCaleb among his victims and his sights now set on Walling.
