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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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 Lim n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"It's Smith's dynamically precise and vivid images, and her uncanny ability to find just the right word or action to crack open our known experience, that make \u003cem\u003eGood Bones\u003c\/em\u003e an extraordinary book.
