The Book of Daniel by Aaron Smith
A tour de force, Aaron Smiths fourth collection of poetry, The Book of Daniel, resists the easy satisfactions of Beauty while managing the contemporary entanglements of art, sex, and grief.
Aaron Smith is queer poetry's lacerating, arch, self-aware satirist in the age of poetry-branding, ‘everyone / saying they're brilliant' (If Smith had a brand, it might read, No more being peaceful, as he writes at the end of ‘I Pledge Allegiance to the Fag.'). The poems in The Book of Daniel, damaged and violent and intimate, wryly circumspect, demand nothing—certainly not admiration—other than the reader's unflinching attention. I admire them, and get the hell out of their way."" - Randall Mann
