Summary

In mid-fourteenth century Yorkshire, the plague wipes out half the inhabitants of a remote village. Left behind, a twelve-year-old shepherd boy survives a brutal winter and keeps his flock alive. In the years that follow, he struggles to reconnect with life. He tells his story in a sequence of eighty-four sonnets.

Not a Soul but Us Summary

Not a Soul but Us: Poems by Richard Smith

Winner of the May Sarton New Hampshire Poetry Prize

Set in rural England during and after the bubonic plague pandemic of 1348-1349, this verse novel drives to the heart of what we humans are capable of when boiled down to our very core in the struggle to survive - and how, in more ways than one, its not our intelligence or our resiliency, but love and the non-human animals that save us.

About Richard Smith

Richard Smith began life as an English major. After graduating from Princeton, he worked in publishing for twelve years, including stints as managing editor of The Hudson Review and World Policy Journal. In his thirties, he retooled as a clinical psychologist, earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, and now maintains a private practice in Washington, D.C. He is on the core faculty of the Center for Existential Studies and Psychotherapy, for which he gives presentations on plays and novels, ranging from Sophocles to Toni Morrison, exploring how an existential sensibility can lend these voices fresh urgency. He and his partner live with their two dogs, who inspired the sonnet-writing that led to this book.
