Some necessary background information:

The subject of these poems "Bowie" refers to the recently passed away pop singer, david Bowie. Its a collection of poems in her series Life on Mars which has the same title as Bowie's song. *this song is both popular but weird and i think that is why she wrote the poems with him as the subject.*

Smith likes to write poems about the cosmos, and her thoughts on life and death. She used these poems to imagine Bowie living it out after death, in another world. She shut out the opinions of others on the subject of death, and gave her take on it.
