Scope and Contents Amazon.com: M Train begins in the tiny Greenwich Village cafe where Smith goes every morning for black coffee, ruminates on the world as it is and the world as it was, and writes in her notebook. Through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present, and across a landscape of creative aspirations and inspirations, we travel to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico; to a meeting of an Arctic explorer's society in Berlin; to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York's Far Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane Sandy hits; and to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima. Woven throughout are reflections on the writer's craft and on artistic creation. Here, too, are singular memories of Smith's life in Michigan and the irremediable loss of her husband, Fred Sonic Smith. Braiding despair with hope and consolation, illustrated with her signature Polaroids, M Train is a meditation on travel, detective shows, literature, and coffee. It is a...

Deborah Rothschild, editor and curator, contributes an introductory essay for the catalogue and an acknowledgement in which she writes that "William Jay Smith knew the Murphys firsthand, and they also singledout his talent, prophesizing a distinguished career in arts and letters." Smith writes an essay titled "Gerald Murphy - cubist Painter, Concrete Poet" in which he describes his typewriter poems and how Gerald Murphy purchased copies of "Typewriter Birds" in excahnge for a Mark Cross attache case. In this essay, Smith also describes the genre of typewriter poetry and how he started to create them and how he felt that he "had instinctively reached back and cut through to something primitive and unspoiled. The fact that my triumph had begun as a humorous gesture made it no less serious. I had touched something, I felt, at the depth of the psyche, at that still center where creation makes its mysterious way." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
