Bøger af Tamsin Spencer Smith

A verse collection from San Francisco poet and painter Tamsin Smith. Praised by peers, including poets Matthew Zapruder, Donald Beagle, Beau Beausoleil, Mary Julia Klimenko, and Kevin Killian, who writes of her debut collection: "Tamsin Smith's WORD CAVE is a book to savor with great pleasure. It's not only a kind of poetry new to me, it's several kinds, each one impressive in a different way, and yet each style linked to the others by the gifts Smith brings with her onto the page. A love of words, a love of people, both as individuals and en masse, a rare ability to bring philosophy into poetry in an understated and thus all the more powerful way. An exquisite sense of the changes, both profound and wry, that time makes in our lives without ever our noticing them. How does she, I wonder? It is perhaps her greatest gift: to see so clearly the intangible, the invisible essence, what some wise Indians refer to as "aatma."

XISLE, a novel is a political thriller and love story spanning four decades of love, intrigue, and the fraught history of US-Cuba relations. The action is set in Washington D.C., Miami, and Havana. This book is Number 3 in The Divers Collection. The cover art is based on a painting by Jerry Lyles. Ada Tremont finds herself just out of grad school and working for COG, a government accountability organization. One chance encounter plucks her from the intern pool and into the center of a daring hunt to discover the truth behind the myth of the powerful leader of the Cuban-American exile community. As Ada and her mentor at the watchdog group Peter Vane separate fact from fiction, a web of lies threatens to entangle them and the eclectic group they've assembled to help. Will the couple and their rag-tag band, which includes a charismatic former diplomat, a fearless investigative journalist, a barrier-breaking Congressman, and a nimble-fingered torch singer prevail or be swallowed by the shadow of the man known as "el murcielago."
