Tracy K Smith's Reading List

"The poems are dazzling, musical, energetic, witty, tender and full of wide-ranging encyclopedic knowledge. Everyone should read this book."

"What caused me to well up repeatedly was the understanding that I was in the presence of an enormous soul."

"The first books of this kind that spoke to me were "Life After Death," by Mary T. Browne, and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's "On Life After Death." I found them on a friend's bookshelf not terribly long after my father's passing."

"These visions of life-after-life and realms-beyond-realms amplified my own hope of what the universe might resemble."

"Her voice! I hear so many voices across so many generations and geographies within Carlotta's singular voice … I am so grateful for this book."
