Smoke Encrypted Whispers showcases Samuel Wagan Watson's imaginative brilliance and exceptional poetic skills. In this book, which also includes work from three previous collections, his poems pulse with the language and images of a mangrove-lined river city, the beckoning highway, the just-glimpsed muse, the tug of childhood and restless ancestors. Wagan Watson's poetry is the work of an artist who speaks to a sense of our common humanity, and to a communal attachment to place. Reading this book is, as Tony Birch points out, ' like witnessing Bruce Springsteen meet the Dreamtime' .

Tony Birch is the author of four novels, five short fiction collections, and two poetry books. In 2022 his book, Dark As Last Night was awarded the Christina Stead Literary Prize and the Steele Rudd Literary Award. The book was also shortlisted for the 2022 Prime Minister's Literary Award for fiction. His most recent book is the novel, Women and Children, (UQP 2023). Samuel Wagan Watson hails from the honourable ancestors of the Birra-Gubba, Mununjali, Germanic and Gaelic peoples. His rich collection of published works have won numerous awards including the David Unaipon Award (1999), the New South Wales Premier's Book of the Year (2005), the Kenneth Slessor Prize for Poetry (2005), the Scanlon Award for Indigenous Poetry (2016) and the Patrick White Literary Award (2018). His work has been translated into seven languages, inspired various musical compositions, and has been the subject of film and television productions and visual art projects.
