A haunted American South as told by a boy hero In lush and comedic language reminiscent of Faulkner and O'Connor.
"Kimbrell (My Psychic) pushes his readers to the limit in his frenetic and unceasingly visceral third collection....Kimbrell's poems will doubtless come crashing back as unexpected, haunting nodes of language."
-Publishers Weekly
"The poems in Smote speak of loss and the wanting of more life.... [Kimbrell] lets us feel what cannot be expressed, by any words."
