Más información sobre el libro

Vanessa Smith's poetry captures the vibrancy of daily life through a lens of unexpected insights and emotional depth. Her west-coast style evokes early Joni Mitchell, blending personal experiences with vivid imagery, such as "wiping daily dabs of lipstick on the car carpet." This debut collection reflects her artistic heritage as the daughter of a portrait painter, exploring themes of identity and inheritance. Smith's clear-eyed observations reveal a tension between longing and reality, as she contemplates the complexities of her California surroundings.
