Smith, Dave (David Jeddie)

The Oxford Companion to American Literature | 1995 | | Copyright

Smith, Dave [David Jeddie] (1942– ),poet born in Portsmouth, Va., and educated at the University of Virginia. He served four years in the Air Force and then began an academic‐based literary career. He founded a poetry magazine, Back Door, in 1969. His early collections of poems, Mean Rufus Throw Down (1973), The Fisherman's Whore (1974), and Drunks (1975), are all close to bedrock elemental experiences. Goshawk,Antelope (1970) placed Smith in the first line of American poets. Dream Flights and Onliness, both 1981, reveal other talents, the latter being a novelistic allegory. In the House of the Judge (1983) explores connections between personal and formal history, as does The Roundhouse Voices: Selected and New Poems (1985). Cuba Night (1989) displays stylistic experimentation.
