Inspired by nature in this thoughtful and plain-spoken poems, Rob Smith reminisces and reflects on life, death, and the passage of time in 256 Zones of Gray. He takes us 'Along the Shore, ' and we see barren trees through his eyes when 'the sky threaded/a blue ribbon between the trunks' and a postcard moment in 'Pittsburgh' when 'colors sliding back into the rivers/ define the Point.' Smith's words often give us hope, a lighted window on the edge of color. - Laura Treacy Bentley, author of Lake Effect: Poems

As with many young writers, his creative efforts developed beneath the requirements of career. Nonetheless, he quietly persisted in creating a body of work representative of his imagination. In 2006, he entered his first poetry competition and was awarded the Robert Frost Poetry Award for the poem ' Catbird' and published his first novel, Night Voices. Rob now has shifted his use of time by writing full-time, and teaching as an adjunct instructor at both Wright State and Bowling Green State Universities in Ohio. He and his wife, Nancy, now live on the north coast and sail the waters of Lake Erie in an old sloop that they are restoring. Rob holds a bachelor''s degree in religion and philosophy from Westminster College (Pa) and master and doctoral degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary. He is editor and publisher of Drinian Press (http: //smithwrite.net/drinianpress.html).
