The Book of Daniel: Poems (Pitt Poetry Series) Paperback – October 1, 2019

Confessional and Irreverent, I was suggested this book and adored it. It’s so accessible and consumable. I’m still digesting and will come back for seconds. I’ve already given it to one friend who then immediately gifted a copy to another friend. Do yourself the favor and buy this book of poetry.

...I have read all of Smith's books, and I truly feel like this collection turns a new corner. I highly recommend it.

Aaron Smith's The Book of Daniel is a powerful and provocative exploration of contemporary life, identity, and grief. Blending humor with raw vulnerability, Smith tackles a wide range of subjects—from his mother's battle with cancer to celebrity culture and queer identity—with a fearless and candid voice. This collection's wild tangents and sharp critiques offer a fresh take on the confessional lyric, making it both deeply personal and universally resonant. Smith's ability to navigate complex emotions with wit and honesty makes The Book of Daniel a must-read for poetry enthusiasts.

This was a fantastic book! I loved it!
