YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Shot through with exquisite lyricism, wry humor, and an acute awareness of the beauty of everyday life, Tracy K. Smith's Ordinary Light is a gorgeous kaleidoscope of self and family, one that skillfully combines a child’s and teenager’s perceptions with adult retrospection. Here is a universal story of being and becoming, a classic portrait of the ways we find and lose ourselves amid the places we call home.
