Sobre este artículo
Graywolf Press, 2018. Hardcover. Like New/Fine . 6x0x9. Tracy K. Smith boldly ties Americaâs contemporary moment both to our nationâs fraught founding history and to a sense of the spirit, the everlasting. These are poems of sliding scale: some capture a flicker of song or memory; some collage an array of documents and voices; and some push past the known world into the haunted, the holy. Smithâs signature voiceâinquisitive, lyrical, and wryâturns over what it means to be a citizen, a mother, and an artist in a culture arbitrated by wealth, men, and violence. Here, private utterance becomes part of a larger choral arrangement as the collection widens to include erasures of The Declaration of Independence and the correspondence between slave owners, a found poem comprised of evidence of corporate pollution and accounts of near-death experiences, a sequence of letters written by African Americans enlisted in the Civil War, and the survivorsâ reports of recent immigrants and refugees. Wade in the Water is a potent and luminous book by one of Americaâs essential poets. Tracy K. Smith (born 1972) is an American poet and educator. She served as the 22nd Poet Laureate of the United States from 2017 to 2019.She has published five collections of poetry, winning the Pulitzer Prize for her 2011 volume Life on Mars. Her memoir, Ordinary Light, was published in 2015. In April 2018, she was nominated for a second term.
