Good Bones, the collection that captivated the internet in 2017, is a remarkable compilation of modern poetry that resonates with the world we inhabit. Maggie Smith delves into the realms of the past, present, and future, exploring the intricacies of life, death, childhood, and motherhood. Drawing inspiration from her own experiences as a mother, she witnesses her children immersing themselves in the world, reading it like a book they've just discovered, unaware of the characters or plot. Smith's keen eye for the hidden goodness within the dark world around her leads her on a quest to uncover compassion, empathy, and honesty. She asserts, "There is a light, and the light is good." Through her skillful use of lyric language and vivid imagery, Smith skillfully unveils the layers of the world, revealing the juxtaposition of beauty and darkness. In her poems, she confronts the darkness head-on while nurturing and sustaining the possibility of a better world. These poignant verses address a larger universe, leaving readers with a sense of hope and determination to make a positive impact on the world we share with future generations. Smith's words in Good Bones echo a profound belief in the potential for beauty and transformation: "This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful."
