    Good but not profound, heard Tretheway in person
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 1, 2011*

I read this book for my poetry class, and also had the privilege of hearing Natasha in person.However, I must say that this is nothing terribly special.  I'm aware she received the Pulitzer Prize, but I think people just take that for granted as justification for the book being amazing or something.It's not that the book did anything wrong per se - it was well crafted and refined and brought perhaps all the variety and attention to form you'd expect in an award-winning book.  However, that's all there really was.  It's everything you'd want in "good" poetry, but nothing to make it stand out as profound.  It draws on the oh-so-cliche topics of racial identity and the civil war, and doesn't do much but reiterate well-explored thoughts.  There are few moments of truly engaging insight, few challenges to already preconceived notions.I listened to Natasha herself read and explain elements of what she'd written.  He readings were, quite honestly, bland and scarce in feeling.  She focused on intonations and form in the pieces, and offered no clue into the true subjective motivations behind the words.  As for the explanations, they were interesting, but not too interesting.  She mentioned things like the guilt over never having truly honored her mother, etc.  Those things may be true to a degree, but it all sounded so constructed and matter-of-fact...thoughts that did not transcend the casually reflective.  In other words, she was merely saying what she thought sounded poetic.  I'd have liked more substance, and ideas that were more fresh.It's a book written to please.  That's my interpretation as a writer myself - take it as you may.

    Wow.
  

*by N***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2019*

Well researched; these poems do a tremendous job of connecting history with the present.As word-smithing goes: Trethewey plays with the language and structure of these poems in ways that are delightful to observe. Compelling word choice, line breaks, sources of inspiration... she masters all the things that make poetry tricky to write, pleasurable to read, and powerful in communicating ideas and stories that matter.
