Social Work and Other Myths

Smith, a social worker and community organizer for forty-one years, draws on the depth of experiences in places like Chicago, Detroit, and rural Western Washtenaw County, to craft poems that resonate with the truth of those places and the people there. M.L. Liebler, author and ci-founder of the Midwest Literary Walk, says: “Doug Smith’s poems shine a light on the cruelty of our society and, yet, offers hoe to nourish souls. Award-winning playwright Brian Cox observes,” These poems beseech us to identify with the humanity in the desperate, the afflicted, the abandoned, the evicted, and the exiled.” This is a book that will engage readers in the most elemental human way.
