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

I wanted so much for Tracy K. Smith's "The Body's Question" to be a five star read considering I'm obsessed with "Life On Mars." Smith explores the vestiges of colonization, war, family, loneliness, and heartbreak with an expert pen, but as brilliant and breathtaking as some of the imagery and language was, most of the poems just lacked the philosophical magic I've come to know and love.
My favorite poems were "A Hunger Honed," "Night Letters," and "Night."
