Tracy K. Smith
Tracy K. Smith’s poems treat grief and loss, historical intersections with race and family, and the threshold between childhood and adulthood, prompting Yusef Komunyakaa to write, “Here’s a voice that can weave beauty and terror into one breath.” Joy Harjo has called her work “a true merging of the ancient roots of poetry with the language of an age of a different kind of sense.” Author of two collections, The Body’s Question (Graywolf Press 2003) and Duende (Graywolf Press 2007), and recipient of many honors, including a Whiting Writers Award and the James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets, Smith teaches creative writing at Princeton. Co-sponsored by the Program for the Study of Women and Gender and the Poetry Center at Smith College.
Time: 7:30 pm
