River Hymnal offers rivers as connective tissue binding Louisiana, Washington, and Florida together. Poems are set in all these locales, and their landscapes shape and contain different permeations of the poet's life and sensibilities. The book's themes of discovery and loss, progress and regress, future and past, are all rivers that the poems alchemize into a confluence of water that currents the poet continually around the next bend in his life and memory.

Industry Reviews

"The very best of our natural world informs every line of Cody Smith's River Hymnal. Wood ducks, still waters, expansive fields off riverbanks, baseball diamonds-These images float in the air like smoke from a fine cigar long after the poems are put down."-Jack B. Bedell, 2017-2019 Louisiana Poet Laureate "Oh, the holiness of rivers, of poems deep into rivers, of these poems by Cody Smith-I read them along the Metolius, along the Marys, I read them looking not for answers but for the best questions. Here's another man reckoning fatherhood and class and inheritance, another man in love with his children and his wife and the good, hard, going-away days."-Joe Wilkins, author of Thieve and When We Were Birds
