Derek R. Smith (he/him) is a public health professional, Anishinaabe two-spirit, wanderer, namer of random dogs on the street, overuser of flowery metaphors, who finds it hard to not write poetry. Some like their poetry elegant, academic, fancy. The proud Midwestern style herein shared is not as such, as any given poem was probably composed in a Denny’s booth. He has recently been published in Great Lakes Review, San Pedro River Review, ¡Pa’lante!, euphony, Hearth & Coffin, Inlandia, Willawaw, Lucky Jefferson and others. There is no space for distance here, in poetry, and isn’t that a beautiful thing?
