Life on Mars by Tracy K. Smith
3.0
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.
