Michael Collins by Rod Smith

Michael Collins by Rod Smith

Michael Collins had many roles in his short lifetime. He fought in the 1916 Easter Rising. He was Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Army, Minister for Finance, leader of a network of spies battling against the British forces and a chief negotiator in the Anglo-Irish Treaty. He was killed in 1922 in an ambush at Beal na Blath at the age of 31. His death robbed Ireland of one of its finest leaders. Admired by many and feared by his enemies, this is the story of Michael Collins - 'The Big Fellow'.

Rod Smith is the author of nine other books of poems, including Music or Honesty, Poemes de l Araignees, and In Memory of My Theories. His poems have appeared in many print and online journals and anthologies including the Baffler, The Gertrude Stein Awards, Java, New American Writing, Poetics Journal, and Shenandoah. He edits the journal Aerial, publishes Edge Books, and manages the independent Bridge Street Books in Washington, D.C. Smith is also editing, with Peter Baker and Kaplan Harris, The Selected Letters of Robert Creeley.
