Overview

TO CRY AGAIN! TO TASTE THE BITTER AIR! TO FEEL THE HEAVY WEIGHT OF LUST AND TIME! THIS EARTH IS BUT A SLAUGHTERHOUSE FOR PRAYER WHERE SOULS ARE DRAGGED THROUGH CENTURIES OF SLIME. In an era of fleeting digital sentiment, The Fraud of Eternity is a return to the architecture of the dark. Written in the shadow of the Lowell mills, Darryl Houston Smith rejects the soft comfort of modern poetry in favor of the rigid, suffocating beauty of the French Symbolists. These poems do not offer redemption. They offer structure. Utilizing strict ABAB rhyme schemes and dense, hyper-metric prose, Smith constructs a cage for the modern soul-exploring the duality of beauty and decay, the lie of the ""Morning Star,"" and the brutal recycling of the human spirit. This is not a collection for the daylight. It is a mirror for the marrow, written for those who know that the only way out of the slaughterhouse... is through it. DARRYL HOUSTON SMITH is a poet based in Lowell, Massachusetts. Heavily influenced by the works of Charles Baudelaire, Edgar Allan Poe, and Jim Morrison, he writes to seize the reader with unflinching emotional honesty. This is his second collection of poems.
