Synopsis

The Body's Question by Tracy K. Smith received the 2002 Cave Canem Poetry Prize for the best first book by an African-American poet, selected by Kevin Young. Confronting loss, historical intersections with race and family, and the threshold between childhood and adulthood, Smith gathers courage and direction from the many disparate selves encountered in these poems, until, as she writes, "I was anyone I wanted to be."

Reviews

Goodreads review by Nakarem

2.5 stars Maybe I listened to it at the wrong time because I cannot pinpoint any actual things I dislike about these poems but they also barely hit me so I'm not sure I want to give the 3 stars I decided on......more
