and what would we do, you and i, if we could know for sure
that someone was there squinting through the dust,
saying nothing is lost, that everything lives on waiting only
to be wanted back badly enough?

I don't think audiobooks or poetry are for me but I'd be willing to give this a reread if I had a physical copy.

Smith's poetry is beautiful in its own right. The poem's follow a girl's journey in a science fiction setting in space. I think this is one of those poetry collections that requires a reread for me. I had moments where I had trouble staying focused because each poem felt like it jumped around a lot even if it was still a part of the same thread. I'm definitely interested in reading more of Smith's poetry after this to see how her writing has evolved.

Second read here-
I can’t believe I hated this the first time. I think I was either in a bad mood or reading too quickly. Either way, this became brilliant to me with time. Though it lags at points, especially with the over-indulgence on Bowie references which began as fun and became exhausting, it is a fascinating piece. Wherever Smith engages God and space, the poem is bound to be incredible.

Magical and ethereal. Must read for lovers of pattern and form.
