Customer Reviews

one of my favorite collections of poetry <3

if you like space and you like poetry this is well worth it!!

the greatest collection I have ever read

I have been a consumer of numerous bouts of poetry in my time, and I can say in full confidence that Tracy K. Smith is one of the most talented poets of our time. Her flawless weaving of the questions of time and space and normal, everyday lifestyles of human beings makes this work feel real, earthly, yet touched by something ethereal. She even manages to address the Black Lives Matter movement in these pages. Tracy K. Smith is truly swelled with talent with a pen, and I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone with the capacity to appreciate art.
