In these brilliant new poems, Tracy K. Smith envisions a sci-fi future sucked clean of any real dangers, contemplates the dark matter that keeps people both close and distant, and revisits the kitschy concepts like "love" and "illness" now relegated to the Museum of Obsolescence. These poems reveal the realities of life lived here, on the ground, where a daughter is imprisoned in the basement by her own father, where celebrities and pop stars walk among us, and where the poet herself loses her father, one of the engineers who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope. With this remarkable third collection, Smith establishes herself among the best poets of her generation.

Prescient, melancholy, thoughtful.

Like her images that leap off the page in Duende, there is no narrative in Life on Mars, just little gems she shares with us that tell us what’s in her mind.
It’s an interesting mind and I was grateful to be invited in to visit with her. Thank you.
