7/4/2023 0 Comments Life on mars poetry collection![]() Smith grew up as the youngest of five children in suburban California, loved by her parents who taught her to believe in God. Smith tells her remarkable story in Ordinary Light, a memoir that explores her coming-of-age and the meaning of home against a complex backdrop of race, faith, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter. Wade in the Water is a powerful and luminous book by one of America’s essential poets. Here, personal utterance becomes part of a larger collective voice as the collection includes erasures of The Declaration of Independence and letters from African American soldiers in the Civil War, a found poem composed of evidence of corporate pollution and accounts of near-death experiences, and a sequence based on testimonies of recent immigrants and refugees. Smith’s distinctive voice―curious, lyrical, and wry―examines what it means to be a citizen, a mother, and an artist in a culture mediated by wealth, men, and violence. ![]() These are poems of varying scale: some capture a glimpse of song or memory some collage an array of documents and voices and some transcend the known world into the mystical, the sacred. Smith explores America’s present and past with a keen eye and a lyrical voice in Wade in the Water, a collection of poems that connects our contemporary moment to our nation’s complex history and to a sense of the eternal. ![]()
