Reviews
Praise for the poetry of Tracy K. Smith   "Bold, skillful poems, taking readers into the universe and moving them to an authentic mix of joy and pain." --Pulitzer Prize judges' citation for Life on Mars   "A poet of extraordinary range and ambition. It's not easy to be so convincing in both the grand gesture and the reverent contemplation of a humble plate of eggs. As all the best poetry does, Life on Mars first sends us out into the magnificent chill of the imagination and then returns us to ourselves, both changed and consoled." --Joel Brouwer, The New York Times Book Review   "Smith's wild, far-ranging elegy for [her father] is by turns intimate, even confessional--regarding private life in light of its potential extermination--and resoundingly political, warning of a future that 'isn't what it used to be.'" --Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker   "Satisfying, strange and beautiful . . . Pulses with America's adolescent crush on the impossible, on what waits beyond the edge of the universe . . . Smith reveals unknowable terrains: birth and death and love." --Dana Jennings, The New York Times   "Smart, funny, and expertly crafted." --San Francisco Chronicle , Best Poetry of 2011   "Spare, honest and insightful." -- Essence   "One of the finest poets writing right now." --Gabrielle Calvocoressi, The Miami Herald   " Life on Mars is a strong, surprising, and often beautiful book. Consistently surprising and demanding." --Sean Singer, The Rumpus

Synopsis
National Book Award Finalist From the dazzlingly original Pulitzer Prize-winning poet hailed for her "extraordinary range and ambition" ( The New York Times Book Review ): a quietly potent memoir that explores coming-of-age and the meaning of home against a complex backdrop of race, faith, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter. The youngest of five children, Tracy K. Smith was raised with limitless affection and a firm belief in God by a stay-at-home mother and an engineer father. But just as Tracy is about to leave home for college, her mother is diagnosed with cancer, a condition she accepts as part of God's plan. Ordinary Light is the story of a young woman struggling to fashion her own understanding of belief, loss, history, and what it means to be black in America. In lucid, clear prose, Smith interrogates her childhood in suburban California, her first collision with independence at Harvard, and her Alabama-born parents' recollections of their own youth in the Civil Rights era. These dizzying juxtapositions--of her family's past, her own comfortable present, and the promise of her future--will in due course compel Tracy to act on her passions for love and "ecstatic possibility," and her desire to become a writer. Shot through with exquisite lyricism, wry humor, and an acute awareness of the beauty of everyday life, Ordinary Light is a gorgeous kaleidoscope of self and family, one that skillfully combines a child's and teenager's perceptions with adult retrospection. Here is a universal story of being and becoming, a classic portrait of the ways we find and lose ourselves amid the places we call home.

    Super fast shipping & the item (Jersey #32) is better than what I expected! Very nice quality, the seller even dropped the price to help me be able to afford it! Overall one of the better experiences I’ve had buying something online from a private seller! 5 stars, two thumbs up, positive over negative, green for good, whatever system you are familiar with, this seller did everything right & I couldn’t be happier!
