About

Abraham Smith is a Wisconsin-born poet, professor, and musician renowned for his high-octane, somatic performance style, often characterized as "punk rock poetry." Raised in Ladysmith, WI, and long associated with the Milwaukee and Madison DIY scenes, Smith's work blends rural imagery with an aggressive, rhythmic delivery. He is the author of several acclaimed poetry collections, including 'Whim Man Mammon,' 'Hank,' and 'Surgencies' (2026). Outside of literature, he performs and records with the improvisational country-folk-punk band The Snarlin' Yarns.
