INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * NPR Best Book of the Year * Time Best Book of the Year * Oprah Daily Best Memoir of the Year "A bittersweet study in both grief and joy." -- Time "A sparklingly beautiful memoir-in-vignettes" (Isaac Fitzgerald, New York Times bestselling author) that explores coming of age in your middle age--from the bestselling poet and author of Keep Moving . "Life, like a poem, is a series of choices." In her memoir You Could Make This Place Beautiful , poet Maggie Smith explores the disintegration of her marriage and her renewed commitment to herself. The book begins with one woman's personal heartbreak, but its circles widen into a reckoning with contemporary womanhood, traditional gender roles, and the power dynamics that persist even in many progressive homes. With the spirit of self-inquiry and empathy she's known for, Smith interweaves snapshots of a life with meditations on secrets, anger, forgiveness, and narrative itself. The power of these pieces is cumulative: page after page, they build into a larger interrogation of family, work, and patriarchy. You Could Make This Place Beautiful , like the work of Deborah Levy, Rachel Cusk, and Gina Frangello, is an unflinching look at what it means to live and write our own lives. It is a story about a mother's fierce and constant love for her children, and a woman's love and regard for herself. Above all, this memoir is "extraordinary" (Ann Patchett) in the way that it reveals how, in the aftermath of loss, we can discover our power and make something new and beautiful.

"Maggie Smith's book is one of the most powerful memoirs I've ever read....This book makes me see the women in my life in a new light, not that they are different, but I am." --Kwame Alexander, Oprah Daily "Rich in nuance and unrelenting in its honesty, Smith's memoir is a bittersweet study in both grief and joy." -- TIME "This book is extraordinary." --Ann Patchett "A beautiful book...stunning." -- Oprah Daily "A triumph" --Mary Louise Kelly, NPR "Smith turns to prose to chronicle the end of her marriage and the hard, beautiful work of loving and valuing herself." -- People "Throughout, she quotes the Emily Dickinson line 'I am out with lanterns, looking for myself,' and the book shines with a light all its own." -- New York Post , Best Books of 2023 "Sparkling & brilliant. Maggie was able to put into words things I've always felt as a writer and a human." --Daisy Perez, CBS Mornings "[An] elliptical, inquisitive book" -- Buzzfeed "By engaging anguish directly, Smith carves a space for the beautiful over the heart that holds initials alongside 'forever.'" -- The Rumpus "This book is a gift." --Leslie Jamison, bestselling author of The Empathy Exams "Beautifully written... Smith should be just as celebrated for her prose." -- Town and Country "Incredibly relatable...At turns devastating and darkly funny." -- Columbus Monthly, "Smith opens her heart like a book, dog-earing moments both painful and joyous...Smith's conjuring of beauty through pain and her special blend of vulnerability and encouragement go down like a healing tonic." -- Booklist (starred review)
