book of poetry about looking for goodness in the world features the viral poem
“God Bones,”named the “Oficial Poem of 2016”by Public Radio
International.<BRgt Good Bones, the collection that took the internet by storm in 2017, is a
collection of modern poetry that speaks to the world we live in. Maggie Smith contemplates the
past and our future, life and death, childhood and motherhood. She writes out of the experience of
motherhood, inspired by watching her own children read the world like a book they’vejust
opened, knowing nothing of the characters or plot. Smith takes in the dark world around her with a
critical eye, always searching for the hidden goodness: compassion, empathy, honesty.
“Thre is a light,”she tells us, “anthe light is good.”ltBR>Smith
skillfully reveals the layers of the world around us through lyric language and vivid imagery:
“Foevery bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. / For every loved child, a child broken,
bagged, / sunk in a lake.”These poems stare down darkness while cultivating and
sustaining possibility and addressing a larger world. We come away from this collection hopeful
about making the world a better place, a place to share with future generations. As Smith tells us
in Good Bones, “Ths place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place
beautiful.”ltBR>Good Bones was named one of Entropy’s“Bet of
2017,”received the 2018 IPPY Award in Poetry, Gold, and was listed in the Washington
Post’s“Bet Poetry of 2017.”Praised for its “dyamically precise and
vivid images, and [Smith’s uncanny ability to find just the right word or action to crack open
our known experience,”this book is much more than its title poem. This intimate poetry
collection is meant for all of us, a way to explore the best and worst parts of our world.
