A compelling collection gathered over the course of twenty years, surreal, narrative, uplifting, spiraling and fun. These poems tell it like it is and like it could be. This is writing that finds the place in the mind where suburbs and safety are abandoned.

Poetry may seem an unlikely destination for those emotions, especially to those who don’t read it regularly. But Limón’s poems are unique for the deep attention they pay to both the world’s wounds and its redemptive beauty. In otherwise dark times, they have the power to open us up to the wonder and awe that the world still inspires. Limón’s books of poetry — like her 2018 collection, “The Carrying,” which won the National Book Critics Circle Award, and her 2015 collection, “Bright Dead Things” — are filled with meditations on grief and infertility, as well as striking moments of insight about friendship, lust and our fellowship with animal Podcast episode
