Beyond the East Window

"The east window takes in the breathing of the hills. The curtains, like vapors, slowly rise and fall. It's autumn but warm enough to sit on the edge of sleep; eyelids kindly hang on to a Sunday's conversation." Beyond the East Window is Larry Smith's first published collection, consisting of poems composed over the last thirty years. These poems were recovered from friends and fans after all of his work was lost in a wild fire.
