The Body's Question: Poems by Tracy K. Smith

3.0

This collection contains some great lines and a scattering of good poems. But, I think Smith gets better with age. I prefer her newer books. That is not to say this isn't worth reading. In fact, this book should be read by lovers of her work and then work through her new stuff to see her maturing and changing. It's a remarkable poetic trajectory.
