Tracy K. Smith is a professor of creative writing at Princeton University and the former Poet Laureate of the United States. She went on to receive her MFA from Columbia University. Smiths powerfully affecting and generous-hearted poems seem to proceed from an implicit trust that this may actually be the case. About the inevitable feat of repelling her, She left untouched, food Id bought and made, And all but ferried to her lips, I could see, How it smacked of all that had grown slack, For the least possible morsel, the tiniest, Metal claws poised over a valley of rubber, Bouncing balls, the kind that lifts nothing. Smiths poems display an acute consciousness of injustice and violence. [CDATA[// >. Possible Meanings.
