Specificatii
The extraordinary new poetry collection by Tracy K. Smith, the Poet
Laureate of the United StatesEven the men in black armor, the
onesJangling handcuffs and keys, what elseAre they so buffered
against, if not love's bladeSizing up the heart's familiar meat?We
watch and grieve. We sleep, stir, eat.Love: the heart sliced open,
gutted, clean.Love: naked almost in the everlasting street, Skirt
lifted by a different kind of breeze.--from Unrest in Baton RougeIn
Wade in the Water, Tracy K. Smith boldly ties America's
contemporary moment both to our nation's fraught founding history
and to a sense of the spirit, the everlasting. These are poems of
sliding scale: some capture a flicker of song or memory; some
collage an array of documents and voices; and some push past the
known world into the haunted, the holy. Smith's signature
voice--inquisitive, lyrical, and wry--turns over what it means to
be a citizen, a mother, and an artist in a culture arbitrated by
wealth, men, and violence. Here, private utterance becomes part of
a larger choral arrangement as the collection widens to include
erasures of The Declaration of Independence and the correspondence
between slave owners, a found poem comprised of evidence of
corporate pollution and accounts of near-death experiences, a
sequence of letters written by African Americans enlisted in the
Civil War, and the survivors' reports of recent immigrants and
refugees. Wade in the Water is a potent and luminous book by one of
America's essential poets.
