An absolutely wonderful collection of poems by Ada Limón. I cried so many times listening to this book. There were many poems about animals, birds in particular that I really enjoyed. I have never related more to anything than the following lines from the poem “The Hurting Kind”, in part 5:
“I have always been too sensitive, a weeper from a long line of weepers.
“I have always been too sensitive, a weeper from a long line of weepers.
I am the hurting kind. I keep searching for proof.”
I will 100% be purchasing this collection so I can read it forever.

Short and sweet collection. First time reading Limon, though I do enjoy listening to The Slowdown. Enjoyed her voice. I have a feeling this isn’t her best collection. Will definitely explore more of her work.
I can acknowledge that these are well written, they’re just not for me. There were a few pieces that stood out, and I will probably still explore other work from Limón.
