Description
In this poignant and luminous collection, Maggie Smith transforms the ordinary—a hallway mirror, a child’s found stone, an autocorrect error, a roadside field of goldenrod—into a portal for wonder. Her poems move through parenthood, divorce, solitude, love, memory, politics, nature, and grief as she considers how to rebuild a sense of self and home amid loss and change. Balancing sorrow with humor and tenderness, Smith finds moments of beauty in a damaged and uncertain world, offering an intimate meditation on presence, resilience, and what it means to remain human.
