This memoir of self-discovery by a poet who found social media success proves to be all journey and not much discovery
A few years ago, the American poet Maggie Smith went viral with a poem, originally published in the online journal Waxwing. Written during a quick visit to a coffee shop, the poem Good Bones was published in 2015, during a moment of great tumult and political unrest in the world. It was a beautiful piece about the hopes and dreams she had for her children (then three and seven), and it arrived into the world at what seemed like a perfect, prescient moment. Smith’s career as a poet, already in fairly fine fettle up to this point, was off to the races.
