Tracy K Smith Quotes

Brooklyn is kind of my writer’s retreat Picture Quote #1

I’ve been beating my head all day long on the same six lines Picture Quote #1

Often it is a moment rather than an event that makes a poem Picture Quote #1

I grew up in northern California in a town called Fairfield, which is kind of exactly between San Francisco and Sacramento, a small suburb. And I’m the youngest of five children Picture Quote #1

We are here for what amounts to a few/hours,/a day at most./We feel around making sense of the terrain,/our own new limbs,/Bumping up against a herd of bodies/until one becomes home./Moments sweep past. The grass bends/then learns again to stand Picture Quote #1

Time never stops, but does it end? and how many livesbefore take-off, before we find ourselves beyond ourselves, all glam-glow, all twinkle and gold? Picture Quote #1

For me, a poem is an opportunity to kind of interrogate myself a little bit Picture Quote #1

I feel like it’s a gift for any writer to be recognized like this Picture Quote #1

So much of my poetry begins with something that I can describe in visual terms, so thinking about distance, thinking about how life begins and what might be watching us Picture Quote #1
