The Foot of the Rainbow finds Thomas R. Smith writing at the height of his powers, bringing the world's abundance within his poems' vibrant circumference:
At a crossroads I turned east: a rainbow curved so high I had to hunch forward over the wheel to glimpse its full arch against the dark. Then out in a field I saw its foot misting along a line of near trees
like a rainbow's ghost. It was that close, moving with me, the arc I'd thought far as mountains!ufrom 'The Foot of the Rainbow'
"[Thomas R.] Smith writes in a simple, lucid style, with phrases that turn your head with their plainspoken eloquence."uRobert Milo Baldwin, The Bloomsbury Review
"Smith is a serious optimist, who ultimately recalls Julian of Norwich: `and all manner of things shall be well."uRay Olson, Booklist
"...his poems are informed with hope; not hope of rescue by forces outside history, but hope for the continuing advance of human consciousness within history. His poetry is like a seismograph tuned to measure shifts in that consciousness."uJoseph Hutchison, The Perpetual Bird blog
