Maggie Smith's book 'You Could Make This Place Beautiful' explores the meanings behind womanhood, gender roles, family and jobs.
Maggie Smith, an award-winning poet whose previous book “Keep Moving” kept so many of us going during the pandemic and beyond, whose optimism intertwines with the acknowledgment of the feelings that caused us to seek light in the darkness, to begin with, does it again in her memoir “This is a story of magical thinking. This is a tell-mine, not a tell-all. This is a confrontation of ghosts. This a divorce memoir that is about so much more than divorce.
My divorce nearly a decade ago and its inciting incident, settings and foreshadowing looked completely different and the same as Smith’s. While my plot didn’t involve a pinecone and a postcard, it did circle around an identity I didn’t realize I was missing, antiquated views of gender roles and conflict over what “work” means and how my “work” that didn’t bring home as much money as his work did affect our family.
“Even if we feel invisible by society as middle-aged mothers , we’d hope that our spouse would be the one person who still sees us, sees every layer of us, who reminds us we’re not invisible.”She wrote a poem that went viral, and it was featured on a popular television show where it was publicly read aloud by Meryl Streep.
