TSTracy K. Smith
Tracy K. Smith (n. 1972) este o poetă americană originară din Massachusetts. Are la activ trei volume de poezie: The Body’s Question (2003), Duende (2007), și Life on Mars (2011), considerat unul dintre cele mai valoroase volume de poezie din 2011. S-a vorbit despre acest volum ca despre expresia căutării unor alte forme de existență, extraterestre, în care existența umană, transfigurată, să-și găsească continuitatea (“Tot ceea ce dispare/ Dispare ca și cum s-ar întoarce altundeva”), despre plonjarea într-un abis în care să uiți de tine și de care să fi înțeles.

Valéry was a member of the 19th-century poetic school of Symbolism, and its last great representative. Throughout his life Valéry filled his private notebooks with observations on creative process and his own methods of inquiry. He insisted that the mental process of creation was alone important - the poems were a by-product of the effort. "Enthusiasm is not an artist's state of mind", stated Valéry. T.S. Eliot has compared Valéry's analytical attitude to a scientist who works in a laboratory "weighing out or testing the drugs of which is compounded some medicine with an impressive name."

About her work, J. D. McClatchy has said: \"Her poems are compact, exhilarating, strange affairs, like Erik Satie miniatures or Joseph Cornell boxes. She is an anomaly in today\'s literary culture: as intense and elliptical as Dickinson, as buoyant and rueful as Frost.\" Ryan\'s awards include the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, a Guggenheim fellowship, an Ingram Merrill Award, a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Union League Poetry Prize, the Maurice English Poetry...
