With a dash of humor, Jim Smith takes us through a life constantly surprising and strange. These poems follow him through a bucolic 1950's childhood, to college in the 1960's, then to war in Southeast Asia, and a long life trying to understand it all.In a whimsical and authentic voice, he asks, What just happened? Caring and searching for meaning, Jim takes us deep into his own boxwood maze. This is his first published collection.
