I’m happy to have read this; I’ve followed Clint Smith III’s work since I first heard him several years ago on DeRay McKesson’s podcast, Pod Save the People . Smith once read his poem, When People Say We’ve Made It Through Worse Before, on the podcast. It’s an absolutely beautiful and timely poem (and it’s included in this volume). Most of the poems in this lovely collection are about family, and especially impending and early fatherhood; based on my previous knowledge of Dr. Smith, I assume them to be autobiographical. If I’m correct, the Smith children are very lucky. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Clint Smith's vibrant and compelling new collection traverses the vast emotional terrain of fatherhood, and explores how becoming a parent has recalibrated his sense of the world. There are poems that interrogate the ways our lives are shaped by both personal lineages and historical institutions. There are poems that revel in the wonder of discovering the world anew through the eyes of your children, as they discover it for the first time. There are poems that meditate on what it means to raise a family in a world filled with constant social and political tumult. Above Ground wrestles with how we hold wonder and despair in the same hands, how we carry intimate moments of joy and a collective sense of mourning in the same body. Smith's lyrical, narrative poems bring the reader on a journey not only through the early years of his children's lives, but through the changing world in which they are growing up--through the changing world of which we are all a part.

I loved how quotidian so many of the poems were. Smith makes the everyday family experiences sublime in his poetry, and he manages to capture such a wide variety of emotion from poem to poem, even sometimes within one poem, showcasing the beauty and hardship that is being human. These poems are accessible, witty, sometimes heartbreaking and often funny. Highly recommended. ( )
