Praise for Both Author and Publisher

This book is gentle, tender, thoughtful, and engaging. I've met the author, and it was like meeting the real Santa Claus. The man is as kind and good as his poems. The poetry is interspersed with small amounts of intimate prose speaking directly to the reader, and I felt, when I read, as though I were sitting with the author in his kitchen conversing of innermost subjects. The quality of this book is amazing. The designer has built a wonderful keepsake.

Sweeter Understanding: It really is

I am delighted with this small volume of poetry. It is poignant and wonderful. I have bought enough copies to send to friends and family as gifts. Beautifully written, beautifully printed, it is nice to read before bed.

TO MELT YOUR HEARTS

R. E. Smith brings the reality of life into perspective with words that will melt your heart and provide an understanding for what you didn't know you could possibly feel. His writings of friendship, romance, life, and love bring your emotions to life. A Sweeter Understanding makes a wonderful gift for people of all ages...a treasure to give and to enjoy.

Review of A Sweeter Understanding

I find this book to be a reflection of life, love, and human interaction. It is presented in a way that is easily read and understood. It offers the reader a connection with the poet and our own feelings. It stimulates the passion of human emotion and allows us to identify with the authors description of events delicately described in his poetic immagination. It is a refreshingly different presentation for readers ages fifteen through one hundred and five.

Touches the heart

I have to admit, I'm not much of a reader and I'm certainly not (or wasn't) a poetry reader. A friend gave me a copy of "A Sweeter Understanding" last month. I finally sat down to read it, and I could not put it down. I read it aloud to friends who would listen, I read it aloud to myself. Each poem brings forth a small vision into the sweet world of R.E. Smith. There are poems about relationships with friends, lovers, parents, and grandparents. Then there are poems about places the author has travelled. This book makes a fabulous gift for anyone you care about as well as a great bedside book to read anytime.
