a different side / Durell Smith

Violins pouring

Greenwood triangles

across the street hidden

in trees

of orchestral

flora and
fauna

no dogs
roam the
neighbourhood
they just sit outside
to cry.

Durell Smith is an Edmonton, Canada-based poet writing on the anxieties and frustrations of everyday life. Accepting negativity, using it for fire, and finding hidden beauty in places often forgotten. He frequently performs readings with drone, harsh noise, or ambient musical accompaniment, and is a curator of the Drone & Words performance series.

Published works include the full-length poetry book “Marred By The Sun”, published by the Aught\Void audio and visual label. Most recently, he was involved in an ambient soundscape and spoken word collaboration album with Norwegian sound designer Kristopher Udekwu, released by the Deep Sea Mining Syndicate label.
