6/27/2023 0 Comments Life on Mars by Tracy K. SmithSmith grew up as the youngest of five children in suburban California, loved by her parents who taught her to believe in God. Smith tells her remarkable story in Ordinary Light, a memoir that explores her coming-of-age and the meaning of home against a complex backdrop of race, faith, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter. Wade in the Water is a powerful and luminous book by one of America’s essential poets. Here, personal utterance becomes part of a larger collective voice as the collection includes erasures of The Declaration of Independence and letters from African American soldiers in the Civil War, a found poem composed of evidence of corporate pollution and accounts of near-death experiences, and a sequence based on testimonies of recent immigrants and refugees. Smith’s distinctive voice―curious, lyrical, and wry―examines what it means to be a citizen, a mother, and an artist in a culture mediated by wealth, men, and violence. These are poems of varying scale: some capture a glimpse of song or memory some collage an array of documents and voices and some transcend the known world into the mystical, the sacred. Smith explores America’s present and past with a keen eye and a lyrical voice in Wade in the Water, a collection of poems that connects our contemporary moment to our nation’s complex history and to a sense of the eternal.

Honestly it wasn’t enough with what they got. I wanted her in laws to suffer for everything they did to her. But im only giving it 4 stars because i needed more couple time. My goodness, how I cried when she read the cheating bastard’s letter, I wanted to hug her and give her comfort. I was happy she was able to help her too. I was a bit scared when the heroine’s husband fake wife (heroine from book 1) met her for the first time. I liked his parents very much, how they supported the heroine when she needed the most. And he does there’s no doubt in my mind of that. I needed for someone to loved the heroine whole heartedly. I get that she had her cousin’s back but the way she acted with the heroine when she met her had me wanting to bitch slap the woman.įor a moment I was scared because he also was a broken man. I liked how he became her friend despite everything.Īlthough I did wanted to slap Crystal’s face when she met the heroine. How she was able to pick herself after everything that happened to her. I’ve never cheered for a heroine so much like I did with this heroine. Please note that if you’re a fan of this book, prepare to hold on to your hats and your feelings. Maybe, if I read it all in one go rather than over the course of a year, I would have appreciated it more.īut, alas, that is not how this story goes. Maybe my opinion would have been more positive if I read it last year. I started reading it in December 2018 as a fun, festive read, didn’t finish it, and then proceeded to not pick it back up until an entire year later, in December 2019. I’ll start this by saying that this book took me a year to read.
