<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>From the award-winning poet and bestselling author of <i>Keep Moving </i>and <i>Good Bones</i>, a stunning poetry collection that celebrates the beauty and messiness of life.</b> <p/>With her breakout bestseller <i>Keep Moving</i>, Maggie Smith captured the nation with her "meditations on kindness and hope" (NPR). Now, with <i>Goldenrod</i>, the award-winning poet returns with a powerful collection of poems that look at parenthood, solitude, love, and memory. Pulling objects from everyday life--a hallway mirror, a rock found in her son's pocket, a field of goldenrods at the side of the road--she reveals the magic of the present moment. Only Maggie Smith could turn an autocorrect mistake into a line of poetry, musing that her phone "doesn't observe / the high holidays, autocorrecting / <i>shana tova</i> to <i>shaman tobacco</i>, / Rosh Hashanah to <i>rose has hands</i>."​ <p/><i>Slate</i> called Smith's "superpower as a writer" her "ability to find the perfect concrete metaphor for inchoate human emotions and explore it with empathy and honesty." The poems in <i>Goldenrod</i> celebrate the contours of daily life, explore and delight in the space between thought and experience, and remind us that we decide what is beautiful.
