by Kevin Smith
Kevin Max Smith presents a collection of verses that move between wakefulness and dreams, sacred longing and earthly desire. The poems explore moments of spiritual seeking, from sleepless nights of contemplation to encounters with divine messengers who blur the line between salvation and temptation. A sweet girl appears in fragments, while the speaker wrestles with purgatorial states and periods of testing that echo biblical wilderness journeys. Fire becomes both threat and promise, intrusion both violation and revelation. Smith crafts brief, intense pieces that capture the tension between human frailty and transcendent hope. The collection pairs with artwork by Jimmy Abegg and was promoted through musical recordings, creating a multimedia meditation on faith, doubt, and the spaces between heaven and earth where most spiritual life unfolds.
