We’re big fans of the writings of Bud Smith, which encompass everything from fiction to poetry to–coming later this year–memoir. Specifically, his new book Work, due out from Civil Coping Mechanisms in September. And we also dig the cover design, which has a nicely classic look to it, with just a touch of denim to lend it some texture.

If you’re looking to delve into Smith’s work further, we published an essay of his in 2015, and reviewed his book F-250 later that year.
