Question: What are the major themes in this book? Are there any minor themes as well? Is there any kind of "subtext" in this book? What kind of murmurs run below the surface?
Answer: Poems by Patricia Smith have a complicated understanding. The major themes in this book have to do with Hurricane Katrina. She describes in her poems of the storm, the city and how her and the other people were feeling. The minor themes could have been the people. How Hurricane Katrina was affecting them. These poems show the sad, but real truth behind the devastating storm. It personifies Katrina into taking over them. Throughout the deep and strong poems it captures an unfortunate event in American in a better way then news could.
