Words of the TimesBy turns comforting and disquieting, Word of the Times is always touching and engaging. Word of the Times is a collection of poetry that originates with observation of the world in which we live. It lifts the heart and encourages each person to seek his own identity and sense of meaning within his world.Written for the average reader, the collection does not obfuscate its message in a discordant symphony of cryptic words. It is accessible, but nonetheless breathtakingly musical. Thomas Noel Smith's Words of the Times sings with a clear and distinct melody, with lyrics of life and understanding.
