Smoke/Screen

by Don Kerr

*Longlisted for the 2003 ReLit Award for Poetry

Charged with powerful biography, Kerr's poems trumpet simplicity and an invigorating directness. He does not shy away from looking the reader directly in the eye as he avoids the doubletalk of political correctness and phoniness of sentimental nostalgia.
