Legions of Light, Armies of Darkness

‘Teacher of the Masses’ Unveils Secrets of Universe in New Autobiographical Poetry Book

MERRICK, N.Y. – Everything humans know about life on Earth and outer space is a lie!
At least it is according to author Rick Smith. His new book, Legions of Light/Armies
of Darkness (now available through AuthorHouse), is an autobiographical account of
alien involvement told through daring, controversial, surreal verse.

“This is not a book of tame crafted poetry that wafts its meaning through poetic
device, but hits the reader more like a machine gun blasting bullets of blood and
guts observation and relentless social commentary through (my) experience,” Smith
says.

Legions of Light/ Armies of Darkness is an inspired book of verse that stems from
Smith’s work dealing with the “Abduction Phenomena, extraterrestrial intervention
and all the raging fires in between known as ‘an experiment in humanity.’” Through
his poems, Smith invites readers into a strange world and life that involves bizarre
anomalies. Within the book, this “teacher of the masses” explores his deep
relationship with a bipedal preying mantis known as “Mother.” Acting as a conduit
for her, he has gleaned the secrets of the planet and the level with which
extraterrestrials have been involved, for good and ill, in the fate of humanity.

Through his poetry, Smith’s story unfolds as a manifesto. He details his calling in
life as a teacher “raging against the coldness and blindness of the world, the
calculating deprivation of truth by ‘the powers that be’ and the terrible sin of
apathy the masses evidence.” A self-proclaimed son of the Matriarchy who battles the
reptilian overlords of the Patriarchal Order, he chronicles his journey to the truth
through poems of blunt honesty, unrelenting violence and tenderness expressed for
his alien lover and his human hybrid child and told through a rapid-fire discourse
meant to challenge and bend readers’ minds.

Ranging in diverse areas of current affairs and offering far-reaching implications,
Legions of Light/ Armies of Darkness hits “with an irresistible honesty, like a
breath of fresh air bearing the fruits of absolute truth.”

A renowned commercial artist and lecturer on the paranormal, Smith has been
“downloading” extraterrestrial information and turning it into visual and literary
expressions since the 1990s. A graduate of the State University of New York at Old
Westbury College and Farmingdale College, he has been the owner of a successful
graphic design business, Smith & Smyth Creations LLC, for the past 10 years. For
