A review by megatza
Above Ground by Clint Smith

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective

5.0

Clint Smith is my favorite poet, and I highly recommend listening to any of his books on audio because he reads like a poet too. This collection touches the range of human experience from life and birth to death and destruction, but dwells primarily in the realm of parenthood and awe of life. From counting toes to Counting Descent to counting drones and the toll of war, I cannot recommend this collection of poetry enough. It will make you gasp and pause and reflect.
