In June 2024, Smartin Winner released “Transesophageal Echoes,” a collection of eleven evocative poems exploring themes of love, identity, and cultural barriers. The collection weaves references to German authors, Texas songwriters or British New Wave bands and the East-West divide to create a rich, multilayered tapestry.

Winner employs intimate and often sensual imagery to delve into personal relationships, using everyday settings and encounters to reflect deeper emotional and physical connections.
