A selection of poems by the award-winning novelist Troy D. Smith. Although primarily known for his historical fiction and mysteries, Smith has been publishing poetry since 1986. The words which acclaimed author Frank Roderus used to describe Smith's fiction apply equally to his verse:
"Troy Smith has a rare and wonderful gift. His words do more than take you to another time, more than allow you to live another person's life... they also open that person's heart and allow you to feel its beat."

Idylls in Darkness: Selected Poems by Troy D. Smith
Troy D. Smith was born in the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee in 1968. He has waxed floors, moved furniture, been a lay preacher, and taught high school and college. He writes in a variety of genres, achieving his earliest successes with westerns -his first published short story appeared in 1995 in Louis L'Amour Western Magazine, and he won the Spur Award in 2001 for the novel Bound for the Promise-Land (being a finalist on two other occasions.) He received his PhD in history from the University of Illinois, and is currently teaching history at Tennessee Tech.
