The Widower Considers Candles
"The Widower Considers Candles," Robert Lavett Smith's third full-length collection, is his most varied so far-formal sonnets interspersed among free verse poems. Familiar themes are present in abundance: grief, loss, and the daily coming to terms with an increasingly complex and often disheartening existence. But humor is evident, too. Now in his later fifties, Smith continues to grow and develop, and remains unafraid to venture into previously uncharted territory. The result is a book that is both challenging and rewarding. Sometimes grim but often joyous, consistently well-crafted, "The Widower Considers Candles" is both thoughtful and humane, ultimately celebrating the quiet, everyday perseverance of the human spirit.
Smoke in Cold Weather
SMOKE IN COLD WEATHER, the second full-length collection from Robert Lavett Smith, explores one man's struggle with grief and loneliness, and celebrates, despite it all, moments of surprising grace and transcendence. Chronicling the loss of a spouse, and the search for renewed meaning in the aftermath of death, the book is comprised of a "mosaic" of sonnets touching on many subjects and concerns, and evokes a potpourri of people, places, and times. By turns devastating and mordantly funny, it is above all a record of a lifelong love affair with language, and of the redeeming power of poetry.
Sturgeon Moon
This latest collection of poems once again reveals Robert Lavett Smith's extraordinary command of both the sonnet and Evansville, and free-verse forms.

Estuarine Research in the 1980s
The Hudson River estuary is one of the most intensively studied estuaries in the world. Many environmental and civic groups have struggled with the conflict in the Hudson River area between the desire for a quality environment and the ever-increasing demands of an expanding human population for drinking water, electric power, efficient transportation, and waste disposal. Estuarine Research in the 1980s provides a synoptic overview of the research conducted on the Hudson estuary since 1980. The essays reflect diverse studies of the physical, chemical, and biological ecology of the Hudson River estuary. Included are historical studies of water flow through the estuary; a model to predict the e...
