Such a tiny book - only around 100 pages - but worth savoring. So many beautiful poems. My favorite was "Lies About Sea Creatures," which is incredible on the surface and beneath.

An absolutely magical collection of poems full of yearning, liveliness, rage, and beauty. Ada Limón almost paints more than writes here: she offers up such clear pictures and moments and has them overflowing with emotion and story. I LOVED these pieces and will continue to read whatever Limón shares.
