Gulf is one part ode and one part elegy to Smith's Louisiana. It is a book that, all at once, questions, praises, and eulegizes its muse. Smith's poetry works to elevate people, places, and things that are often looked over as unpoetic. Trailers, pickups, catfish, menial labor thread through Gulf. But ultimately, the book revolves around family and home. It moves back and forth between innocence and experience, the idyllic and tragic. In Gulf, the past shapes the poet, yet the poet, through so much that has been lost, has little else to access a past other than memory. Ultimately, Gulf becomes a reckoning with memory. These poems are the work of a poet leaving and losing his home, his family, his way of life. But they are not merely past-centric. Loss is a centrifugal force, an inciting incident that leads to the question,what is on the other side? What is left of a state that every year falls farther into the Gulf of Mexico? What is left when the poet moves three thousand miles away? What is it like to come home? Can the poet come home? What remains when the poet leaves? What is he able to bring with him? Though Smith's relationship to his home is not simple, his first urge is to praise; however, when home is a trailer on wheels in a state that continues to fall down farther into water, Gulf is a book of poems unable to escape the elegiac.

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.

The story continues in a time long after the original story as the Nanites' civilization has reached new and great heights. With the power of the Nanos and the ever creating alchemist known as James, the city grows into a bright future. There are new cities sprouting across the great lands that were once nothing but wastes. They are known as seed cities and are just another gift of the Nanites. The Evos have disappeared from the wasteland as the time of the Nanites has begun after the death of Him. In the midst of their new found peace, a new stranger has been sighted in the far north as the dreams of all are plagued by the sight of the masked man. Even Azrael's dreams are too plagued with visions of coming destruction at the hands of this mysterious man. With no other thing to go on besides that he is from the north, he is deemed Northman. So the Nanites, in an attempt to sustain their new peace, send out small teams to recon all the wastes in search of truth about the stranger. What lies in the road ahead of them is unclear but the power of this man seems to have great influence of all the people of the land. Even the Nanites find themselves manipulated by this man. Whatever power he has, the Nanites will stand strong together as they fight for their new world.
