A review by ashlightgrayson
Life on Mars by Tracy K. Smith

mysterious slow-paced

3.0

Smith's poetry is beautiful in its own right. The poem's follow a girl's journey in a science fiction setting in space. I think this is one of those poetry collections that requires a reread for me. I had moments where I had trouble staying focused because each poem felt like it jumped around a lot even if it was still a part of the same thread. I'm definitely interested in reading more of Smith's poetry after this to see how her writing has evolved.
