Counting Descent by Clint Smith
4.0
I picked up this book after reading Clint Smith's narrative non-fiction book How the Word is Passed. Over the years I have read Smith's verse online, and found each piece to be incredibly resonant and powerful. Consequently I was thrilled to finally be able to read Smith's book length series of poetry, and you should too!
My favorite in this compilation of poems is Meteor Shower which touches up on the dual themes of history and place and the role they play in making us who we are. The last line especially "we bring a part of where we are from to every place we go."
