Ordinary Light: A Memoir by Tracy K. Smith

3.0

Beeautifully written memoir by an author with a rather dull black middle class life apart from the very tragic death of her mother from cancer when she was just a child. Smith's writing about her mother was riveting, but otherwise I was a little bored. The author is a Pulitzer Prize winning poet. In 2017 she became the US Poet Laureate. She teaches at Princeton.
