A review by laura_sackton
Life on Mars by Tracy K. Smith
Just an utterly breathtaking book of poetry. Smith writes about wide-ranging subjects, both vast and intimate--current events, gun violence, David Bowie, the universe and the nature of space, parenthood, race. The poems are exacting and gorgeous but also they breathe and were so easy to fall into in this really lovely way.
I listened to the audiobook, which Smith reads, and I highly recommend it. I loved hearing the weight of the words, the particular line breaks, the heft of each poem, in her voice. I know I'll want to return to it in print, so I can savor each poem, but this was a fantastic listen.
