Description
A vibrant and compelling new collection of poetry from Clint Smith explores the vast emotional terrain of fatherhood. In "Above Ground", Smith traverses the ways our lives are shaped by both personal lineages and historical institutions, as well as the wonder of discovering the world anew through the eyes of his children. The poems in this collection meditate on what it means to raise a family in a world filled with constant social and political tumult. They wrestle with how we hold wonder and despair in the same hands, carrying intimate moments of joy and a collective sense of mourning in the same body. Through lyrical, narrative poems, Smith brings the reader on a journey through the early years of his children's lives, as well as the changing world in which they are growing up. This is a breathtaking collection that follows Smith's previous award-winning book of poetry, "Counting Descent".
