She lives in New York."[<em>Early Work</em>] burns . . . with the galvanizing sense of faith and transcendence that made [Smith] the last of the great rock poets."
- Entertainment Weekly,
"[<em>Early Work</em>] establishes Smith as a visionary belletrist who believed in rock as a spiritual outlet and haven for black sheep—an outpost on a continuum connecting such heroes as poets Arthur Rimbaud and Charles Baudelaire, Amelia Earhart, Harry Houdini and film director Pier Paolo Pasolini to a sexy, androgynous future."
- Evelyn McDonnell, Rolling Stone,
"A poet of distinction."
