Adam Smith 
Mettle of the Mind 
Poetry of an Outsider

Mettle of the Mind: Poetry of an Outsider is the result of three years of wandering through the country of Israel, where Adam Smith spent his childhood and most of his young adulthood.

He struggles with self-identification within the complex system of ideas in this vast world—online, and in the military-centered world around him in the Middle East. Smith meditates on topics of religion, true self, alcohol, and being one with the world and the moment.

You will find this work of poetry educational, amusing, and at times radical in regard to the state of the world.
