The title of Silver and Information comes from a photographer's statement, My work is becoming more and more and more silver and less and less information.
This book swings between the poles of aboriginal working-class Philadelphia, where a father maps the economies and grievances of a generation, and the more silvery, reflective, and incandescent meditations on the lapsed world.
About the Author Originally from Philadelphia, Bruce Smith is the author of seven books of poems.
His poetry collection, Devotions, was a finalist for the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Los Angeles Times Book Award, and the winner of the William Carlos Williams Prize.
