Book Description
Sick and tired of Christmas? Me too A short and uncensored collection of rants about the excessively jubilant Christmas. I may be breaking a taboo when I admit that I don’t like the biggest day of the year that much, but so what. In Not So Festive, I hold nothing back and rant about Christmas, the annual frenzy of gifts and money so many of us love. I unleash my inner Scrooge and show why I am reluctant to get into the spirit of the occasion. But, it’s not all negativity as there’s actually something to do with the holiday that I’m grateful for. After the fifteen passionate rants, there’s a sixteenth and final piece that’s about something rather uplifting. Do you find Christmas preposterous and dislike it too? If you want a raw, honest look at one of the greatest modern-day traditions, you’ll enjoy reading Not So Festive. Buy now and see what I have to say about the oh-so wonderful day that gets bigger and more monetised every year.

Good Bones
Author: Maggie Smith
Publisher: Tupelo Press
ISBN: 1946482420
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Featuring “Good Bones”—called “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International. Maggie Smith writes out of the experience of motherhood, inspired by watching her own children read the world like a book they've just opened, knowing nothing of the characters or plot. These are poems that stare down darkness while cultivating and sustaining possibility, poems that have a sense of moral gravitas, personal urgency, and the ability to address a larger world. Maggie Smith's previous books are The Well Speaks of Its Own Poison (Tupelo, 2015), Lamp of the Body (Red Hen, 2005), and three prize-winning chapbooks: Disasterology (Dream Horse, 2016), The List of Dangers (Kent State, 2010), and Nesting Dolls (Pudding House, 2005). Her poem “Good Bones” has gone viral—tweeted and translated across the world, featured on the TV drama Madam Secretary, and called the “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International, earning news coverage in the New York Times, Washington Post, Slate, the Guardian, and beyond. Maggie Smith was named the 2016 Ohio Poet of the Year. “Smith's voice is clear and unmistakable as she unravels the universe, pulls at a loose thread and lets the whole thing tumble around us, sometimes beautiful, sometimes achingly hard. Truthful, tender, and unafraid of the dark....”—Ada Limón “As if lost in the soft, bewitching world of fairy tale, Maggie Smith conceives and brings forth this metaphysical Baedeker, a guidebook for mother and child to lead each other into a hopeful present. Smith's poems affirm the virtues of humanity: compassion, empathy, and the ability to comfort one another when darkness falls. 'There is a light,' she tells us, 'and the light is good.'”—D. A. Powell “Good Bones is an extraordinary book. Maggie Smith demonstrates what happens when an abundance of heart and intelligence meets the hands of a master craftsperson, reminding us again that the world, for a true poet, is blessedly inexhaustible.”—Erin Belieu
