Description
This career-spanning collection brings together poems from Tracy K. Smith’s acclaimed books, including Pulitzer Prize–winning work, alongside a substantial group of powerful new poems. Moving from the intimate questions of the body, desire, love, and grief to the vast reaches of history, space, death, and the afterlife, Smith’s poetry explores the mysteries of human existence with remarkable imagination and intellectual range. The new poems confront racism, violence, and enduring injustice while reaching toward the ecstatic, the sacred, and the sustaining force of love. Audacious, elegiac, and hopeful, the collection offers both a vivid retrospective of a major poetic career and an inviting introduction to one of contemporary poetry’s most vital voices.
