Smoky Hoss (01 may 1962 / U.S.A.)
A lack of literary artifice is no sin,
So long as the way of the words invite the soul in.

Smoky's poems are filled to the brim with wisdom. He is a salt of the earth writer that will keep you reading and thirsting for more.
I find your poetry beautiful because of the honest heart-truth in it and how spontaneously you lay out that truth in smooth flowing words. I wish I could learn that art!
Everything I have read of Smokey's is well written and deeply inspirational- and very moving and interesting to read! ! Good work!
What can I say about Smokey, I know he is a great poet whose morals and positive outlook on life always shine through his words. His love for the great American Southwest which I share has endeared him to me. I can see his values and love for God in all his poetry. I just hope someday to be able to walk the Mojave with this poet who is such an inspiration t so many. Until that day pal, keep em flying.
