A powerful collection of poems that look at parenthood, solitude, love, and memory. Pulling objects from everyday life— a hallway mirror, a rock found in her son's pocket, a field of goldenrods at the side of the road—Maggie Smith reveals the magic of the present moment.

The poems in Goldenrod celebrate the contours of daily life, explore and delight in the space between thought and experience, and remind us that we decide what is beautiful.
