"...(Smith´s) poems express with imagery and careful attention to details. Her poems convey her sensitivity to people, to our companion creatures and to the earth itself: her joy and her love of life." L. Nelson Farley, poet and author. "...(Smith´s) poems are as varied as "Children´s Palace in Shanghai, China", to a mother´s fears for her growing child, to goldfish at a wedding. They are humorous and serious, but always approach life from its best side." Serena Fusek, poet and author.
