Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Editorial Review: The Fraud of EternitySource: Booksterr (5/5 Stars) - January 11, 2026Darryl Houston Smith's collection The Fraud of Eternity demonstrates a haunting structural purpose from its very first pages. Dedicated "to winter," the work utilizes rigid poetic forms to create a deliberate conflict of emotion against "the bars of a rigid meter." The result is a dramatic and stark view of suffering and humanity-one clearly influenced by the dark romanticism of Charles Baudelaire and the mythic weight of Jim Morrison.Smith's writing is both philosophical and visceral. In "The Monolith," he posits that "birth is merely the beginning of sin," describing the earth as "a slaughterhouse for prayer where souls are dragged through centuries of slime." This somber view of existence permeates the collection, particularly in pieces like "Merrimack in Iron" and "Granite Teeth."These poems establish a profound connection between abstract despair and the tangible reality of Lowell, Massachusetts. The "granite, river, and ice" of the Merrimack Valley exist here as both metaphor and physical entities that "command a specific type of silence." Walking through "Edson Cemetery (Sunday)" or witnessing the "drained out vein" of "Canal Water Blues," the reader encounters a world of old mills feeding ghosts-a world almost conspiratorial in its decay.The Fraud of Eternity masterfully examines the dualities of beauty and ruin. In "The Warmth of Hell," Smith rejects the "empty blue" of the sky, opting instead for "furnaces and loam" where "hell blooms beneath the frost, a rooted home." The title poem, "The Dyad," explores the necessary tension between two entities that "brace the weight of Fraud we cannot move," finding strength in parallel existence rather than merging.For those who appreciate the darker aspects of Symbolism and the harsh truths of the world, this is an unapologetic body of work. Smith rejects soft comfort in favor of a rigid, suffocating beauty. It is a mirror for the marrow, written for those who know that the only way out of the slaughterhouse is through it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - THIS TEXT IS NOT DESIGNED as a linear biography, nor is it a simple collection of verse. It is a hybrid engine-a mecha-nism constructed to navigate the liminal space between histori-cal fact and mythic resonance.The architecture of this work relies on a deliberate collision be-between narrative prose and hyper-metric poetry. The prose chap-ters serve as the forensic framework, establishing the timeline, the 'crime scene,' and the sociological context of the 1960s counterculture. They are the walls of the maze. The poems, how-ever, function as the subconscious interruptions-the 'Chorus ' Of Dissent' speaks to the internal, emotional reality of the subject. Where the biography explains what happened, the poet-His attempts to articulate why it felt like a haunting.This book represents the second movement in a larger metaphys-ical journey.The arc began in THE FRAUD OF ETERNITY, which estab-published the existential compost-the raw, chaotic realization that time is a predator and legacy is a lie. In that collection, we ex-plored the internal fragmentation of the self.Now, in LOST IN THE LABYRINTH, we apply that lens to a specific external archetype: Jim Morrison. We use his rise, his 'Solar Equation' and his eventual destruction as a case study in the failure of the Romantic ideal.He is the Avatar of the Fraud, a man who tried to break through, only to find the door was painted on a brick wall.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. THE WINTER DYADTHE VERDICT OF ICEThe fever breaks. The pulse is still. The atoms halt their dancing track.In The Winter Dyad, Darryl Houston Smith offers a collection of unflinching emotional honesty and structural rigor. By binding the granite blocks of language with ice, Smith creates a "Theology of the Empty Mill"-a poetic landscape where the biological defect of human suffering meets the indifference of a silent universe.Featuring the prose-poem masterpiece "The Chrome Confessional of Eleanora Fagan," this volume strips the soul bare before the "Morning Star Rejected." It is a book for those who understand that to see the Infinite, one must first be willing to burn the eyes-or freeze the heart.The Winter that will never go away. This item is printed on demand.
