Goldenrod - Maggie Smith (Hardcover)
Tax included.
The award-winning poet returns with a powerful collection of poems that look at parenthood, solitude, love, and memory.
Pulling objects from everyday life--a hallway mirror, a rock found in her son's pocket, a field of goldenrods at the side of the road--she reveals the magic of the present moment.
Only Maggie Smith could turn an autocorrect mistake into a line of poetry, musing that her phone "doesn't observe / the high holidays, autocorrecting / shana tova to shaman tobacco, / Rosh Hashanah to rose has hands.
