Life on Mars by Tracy K. Smith
5.0
A brilliant collection of short poems, which borrows it's name from that Bowie song, so you already know it can't be all bad. A sci-fi inspired one, which talks about a whole lot of things and issues, with a plethora of pop culture and science references thrown around. While a couple of poems might have felt plain, most were just so articulately crafted, it was a delight to read.
The collection has a Radiohead-esque vibe to it too, if you know what I mean, and now that I have established that thought in my head, I cannot help but get rid of it. And the Bowie fan that I have been, all of this appeals to the inner nerd inside me unlike any other collection would. Really loved the narrative aspect of it all, would recommended.
