Larry Smith s EACH MOMENT ALL takes a hard—eyed look at the sufferings human beings cause one another and the inequalities of the world we live in. And yet these poems take the full measure of human life, finding the peace and humor that reside in family, in love, and in those smallest, ordinary moments of each lived day. I especially admire the funny and spiritual poems about meditation here "Wrapped in the Buddha"; "Final Pilgrimage"; "Walking a Field into Evening"—and the way their casual, unforced grace help us to live our lives. — Robert Cording
