The word “walk” is repeated as a verb and noun, and as a rhetorical question. Working in a range of forms, the poem (like most in the book) weaves hard-won wisdom with heartfelt observations it “worries” or bends the word “walk,” for example, in section three, as the speaker tries to come to terms with the cold hand of death, even as it celebrates the lessons delivered to her from the father, who exists in the hallways of her memory. The most demanding poem, the book’s masterpiece, is at its center, “The Speed of Belief,” and is focused on the death of the poet’s father, Floyd Smith. ![]() For many of these, the speakers’ tones show dismay, wonder, awe, with an intelligent, questioning, dissatisfied, razor-sharp voice. ![]() Its themes include family births and deaths, outer space as a metaphor for inner space, and broader political questions regarding violence and power. ![]() Tracy Smith’s Life on Mars is a strong, surprising, and often beautiful book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Humanity Bottle Opener by Possibly my favourite item in the whole box.

A woodsy, magical folk retelling of ‘beauty and the beast.’ which is surprising because, based on the title, cover, and the MCs name, i totally expected this to be inspired by ‘little red riding hood.’ go figure. ![]() ![]() ![]() ("CRMLS") and is protected by all applicable copyright laws.
