WINNER OF THE 2025 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY
“Patricia Smith is the greatest living poet. Every book is better than the last.” —Danez Smith,
The Guardian
A collection of the finest new and selected poems from one of the most groundbreaking voices in contemporary poetry, a “masterful performer and poet of voices too little heard” (Poetry Foundation).
The Intentions of Thunder
gathers, for the first time, the essential work from across Patricia Smith’s decorated career. Here, Smith’s poems, affixed with her remarkable gift of insight, present a rapturous ode to life. With careful yet vaulting movement, these poems traverse the redeeming landscape of pain, confront the frightening revelations of history, and disclose the joyous possibilities of the future. The result is a profound testament to the necessity of poetry—all the careful witness, embodied experience, and bristling pleasure that it bestows—and of Smith’s necessary voice.
Lyrical and sly, meditative and volcanic,
stunningly explores the fullness of living. The inimitable poetry of Patricia Smith radiates in
—reaffirming Smith’s place as one of the indispensable poets of our time.
