Wade in the Water
by Tracy K. Smith
In Wade in the Water, Tracy K. Smith crafts a moving and deeply thoughtful collection that explores history, race, grief, and the enduring search for hope. Blending personal reflection with historical voices and documents, Smith’s poems are lyrical, accessible, and emotionally resonant, inviting readers to consider both the pain and resilience woven through American life. The collection’s meditative tone and vivid imagery make it a rewarding and memorable read for both longtime poetry lovers and those newer to contemporary poetry.
This book discussion program is HYBRID. We will meet in the library but you may also attend via Zoom. Click here for an Zoom meeting invitation. You can email Mike at mike.morris@thehowe.org for a copy of the book, or more information.
