En Vida en Marte, reconocido por el New York Times Book Reviewcomo uno de los poemarios más destacados del 2011, y galardonadoen 2012 con el prestigioso Premio Pulitzer de Poesía, Tracy K. Smithimagina una banda sonora para el universo.Su poesía, con referencias tomadas de David Bowie y de laciencia ficción, acompaña los hallazgos y fallos de la existenciahumana para sugerirnos que lo importante no es tanto descubrirlos enigmas del universo, sino asumir su misterio.No obstante todos buscamos respuestas, en la religión, en laciencia, en el arte, pero la interrogación continúa viva, no se cierra,especialmente cuando nos enfrentamos a la pérdida y al duelo. Espor ello que Smith, que escribió estos poemas tras la muerte de supadre (ingeniero en el Telescopio Hubble), construye su metáforamarciana: el espacio exterior, sinónimo de lo que no puede llegara conocerse, en el que su padre se ha desvanecido. Reivindica elpoder de la ciencia como medida de reflexión en tiempos en quenada alcanza a ser lo que es pues todo es eternamente cambiante,eleva la vista a las estrellas, pero enfoca la lente de su telescopio enlo concreto, lo íntimo, incluso lo doméstico.Vida en Marte consolida a Tracy K. Smith como una de lasmejores voces de su generación. 3

    Edward V Bonner
