The Humility Of The Brutes: Poems (Southern Messenger Poets)

The title of Ron SmithÆs new collection comes from YeatsÆs observation that creators ômust go from desire to weariness and so to desire again, and live but for the moment when vision comes to our weariness like terrible lightning, in the humility of the brutes.ö The poems in The Humility of the Brutes move beyond YeatsÆs journey, using precise language and memorable phrasing to push through skepticism and guide us toward the mystical as we struggle to understand our past and our present.
