This is Mary Smith's first full collection of poetry and the poems cover many landscapes from the wilds of Scotland to the stunning and dramatic mountains of Afghanistan. Thousands Pass Here Every Day is equally wide-ranging in its subject matter from memories of childhood to family loss; from lives lived with war as a constant backdrop to observations of Scottish city life. The poems are immediate and vivid, driven by warmth and compassion.
