A remarkable poetry collection with "inextinguishable generosity
and abundant wisdom" (Monica Youn) from Clint Smith, the #1 New
York Times bestselling and National Book Critics Circle
award-winning author of How the Word Is Passed. Clint Smith's
vibrant and compelling new collection traverses the vast emotional
terrain of fatherhood, and explores how becoming a parent has
recalibrated his sense of the world. There are poems that
interrogate the ways our lives are shaped by both personal lineages
and historical institutions. There are poems that revel in the
wonder of discovering the world anew through the eyes of your
children, as they discover it for the first time. There are poems
that meditate on what it means to raise a family in a world filled
with constant social and political tumult. Above Ground wrestles
with how we hold wonder and despair in the same hands, how we carry
intimate moments of joy and a collective sense of mourning in the
same body. Smith's lyrical, narrative poems bring the reader on a
journey not only through the early years of his children's lives,
but through the changing world in which they are growing up-through
the changing world of which we are all a part. Above Ground is a
breath taking collection that follows Smith's first award-winning
book of poetry, Counting Descent. Above Ground is a breath taking
collection that follows Smith's first award-winning book of poetry,
Counting Descent.
